What is Dapsone?
Active Ingredients: Dapsone
Dapsone Tablets are a drug used to treat skin issues like dermatitis herpetiformis, pyoderma gangrenosum, Sweet's syndrome, and vasculitis. This medication is also used to treat suspected cases of leprosy (Hansen's disease). It is typically prescribed with other medications to treat leprosy.
