Dapsone 100 mg – Oral Tablet

Catalogue categories: Acne Treatment · Skin Care (oral dapsone requires recategorization)

Dapsone 100 mg is an oral prescription sulfone medicine primarily used for dermatitis herpetiformis and susceptible leprosy. It is not the same as topical dapsone gel used for acne. Placement in an acne category does not establish an approved acne indication for these oral tablets.

How it works

Dapsone has antibacterial activity against susceptible organisms and anti-inflammatory effects in dermatitis herpetiformis.

Use and precautions

Only a qualified clinician should determine the indication, dosage and laboratory monitoring. Blood count and hemoglobin monitoring are important. Screening for G6PD deficiency may be indicated.

Safety warnings

Serious adverse events include hemolytic anemia, methemoglobinemia, agranulocytosis, serious skin reactions and dapsone hypersensitivity syndrome. Seek urgent care for blue lips, severe breathlessness, faintness, fever, sore throat or jaundice.
