Dapsone is an antibacterial sulfone drug primarily used for the treatment of leprosy (Hansen's disease), dermatitis herpetiformis, and as a prophylactic treatment for Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia in immunocompromised patients. Dapsone is still approved and in use today, especially in combination therapy for leprosy and for certain skin conditions.
Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic parameters reported in healthy adult volunteers after a single oral 100 mg dose.
