Adverse Drug Reaction Classification System

Pharmaceutical Information
Drug Name Dapsone
Drug ID BADD_D00580
Description A sulfone active against a wide range of bacteria but mainly employed for its actions against mycobacterium leprae. Its mechanism of action is probably similar to that of the sulfonamides which involves inhibition of folic acid synthesis in susceptible organisms. It is also used with pyrimethamine in the treatment of malaria. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p157-8)
Indications and Usage For the treatment and management of leprosy and dermatitis herpetiformis.
