Dapsone 100 mg is a prescription medicine used to treat leprosy and to help control a skin problem called dermatitis and a fungal disorder called actinomycotic mycetoma. For the treatment of leprosy, Dapsone may be given with one or more other medicines. Dapsone is the active ingredient in the medicine, which belongs to the family of anti-infectives. It stops the growth or kills the bacteria responsible for causing the infection. This antibacterial medicine will not work against viral infections like colds or the flu. Â

You can take Dapsone before, during, or after meals, including with milk. Dapsone comes in the form of a tablet that you swallow with water. Your doctor will decide the exact dose and duration. If older adults have a damaged liver, you may be advised to take a lower dose than for adults. You should continue to take Dapsone for as long as it is prescribed to you. Furthermore, it may be dangerous to stop taking Dapsone suddenly.
