I took clofazamine for about a month, it was an alternative treatment because I could not tolerate azithromycin which had caused hearing loss.
Clofazaminr caused me to become seriously constipated, and I had to go to an urgent care center because I had developed significant intestinal blockage.
I am no longer on clofazamine . . If you take clofazamine, perhaps you should take steps to prevent constipation before it develops .

Thank you for the feedback about clofazimine! I had heard it can cause blockage, but didn't know much about this. I feel for you. That must have been very difficult. I hope you're doing better with your treatment.
