The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has issued updated clinical guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of leptospirosis across all civic-run hospitals and healthcare facilities ahead of the monsoon season, aiming to ensure early detection and prompt treatment of the potentially life-threatening bacterial disease. The protocol provides standardised recommendations for doctors managing suspected and confirmed cases.

While the circular does not mention anything about taking an antacid along with the rest of the medication, gastroenterologists suggest taking one to avoid gastritis or of the stomach lining.
