Dapsone is a medication that is primarily used to treat leprosy and dermatitis herpetiformis (a chronic autoimmune disorder that causes blisters and skin lesions). It is also sometimes used to treat other skin conditions, such as acne and certain types of dermatitis.
Dosage:
The recommended starting dose of Dapsone for adults is usually 100 mg once daily, although your doctor may adjust the dose based on your individual needs and response to the medication. Dapsone should be taken with food to reduce the risk of stomach upset.
Uses:
Dapsone is primarily used to treat leprosy and dermatitis herpetiformis. It is also used off-label to treat other skin conditions, such as acne and certain types of dermatitis.
Side Effects:
Like all medications, Dapsone can cause side effects. Some common side effects include:
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Headache
- Dizziness
- Insomnia
- Rash
- Itching
- Muscle weakness
Rare but serious side effects include:
- Anemia (low red blood cell count)
- Methemoglobinemia (a condition where there is too much methemoglobin in the blood, which can reduce the amount of oxygen that the body can carry)
- Hemolytic anemia (a type of anemia where the body destroys its red blood cells)
Precautions:
Before taking Dapsone, tell your doctor if you have any of the following conditions:
- Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency
- Liver disease
- Kidney disease
- Blood disorders
- Allergies to sulfonamide antibiotics
- Pregnant or breastfeeding
Dapsone should be used with caution in people with G6PD deficiency, as it can cause hemolysis (the destruction of red blood cells). It should also be used cautiously in people taking other medications that can cause methemoglobinemia, such as nitroglycerin or local anesthetics.
It is important to follow your doctor's instructions carefully when taking Dapsone. If you experience any side effects or have any concerns about taking this medication, talk to your doctor.
