Rationale for change
UpToDate recommends 12 months of rifampin and dapsone rather than the 6 months written on this card.
"For patients with tuberculoid disease, we favor treatment with dapsone (100 mg daily) and rifampicin (600 mg daily) for a duration 12 months. "
See: https://www.uptodate.com/contents/leprosy-treatment-and-prevention?search=leprosy%20treatment&source=search_result&selectedTitle=1~141&usage_type=default&display_rank=1#H310298018
I believe the 6 month figure only comes from the associated Sketchy video.
