Dapsone

Uses

Dapsone is used in the treatment of leprosy and acne.

How it Works

How Dapsone works Dapsone is an anti-leprotic medication. In leprosy, it works by inhibiting the production of folic acid in certain bacteria, thereby preventing their growth. In acne, it halts the proliferation of acne-causing bacteria (P. acnes) and helps reduce the redness and swelling associated with acne lesions.

Side Effects

Common side effects of Dapsone include anemia (low number of red blood cells), erythema (skin redness), skin peeling, dryness, hemolysis (destruction of red blood cells), and increased reticulocytes.

Expert Advice

  • Dapsone is used in the treatment of leprosy.
  • It may also assist in the treatment of acne when used as a gel.
  • Complete the prescribed course, even if you start to feel better.
  • Stopping treatment early may cause the infection to return and become harder to treat.
  • Take it in the dose and duration as prescribed by your doctor.
  • Inform your doctor if your condition does not improve or if it worsens.

Use Dapsone as directed by your doctor, which may be for several months to fully clear acne. Initial benefits may take weeks to appear, and typically, Dapsone should not be used for more than 12 weeks. Multiple tubes may be needed during treatment.
