Mitigation of benznidazole toxicity and oxidative stress following ascorbic acid supplementation in an adult traveller with chronic indeterminate Chagas’ disease
Abstract:Background
Benznidazole is an effective drug in the trypanocidal treatment of acute and chronic indeterminate Chagas’ disease (CD). However, adverse drug reactions (ADR) are common and frequently cause patients to discontinue treatment.
Objectives
We hypothesized that antioxidant supplementation could mitigate benznidazole-induced toxicity.
Methods
We co-supp… Show more
