DESCRIPTION
Dapsone-USP, 4,4'-diaminodiphenylsulfone (DDS), is a primary treatment
for Dermatitis herpetiformis.
It is an antibacterial drug for susceptible cases of leprosy. It is a
white to yellow crystalline powder.
Sparingly soluble in alcohol; Soluble in acetone and in dilute mineral
acids; practically insoluble in
water.
Dapsone is issued on prescription in tablets of 25 and 100 mg for oral
use.
Inactive Ingredients: Colloidal Silicon Dioxide, Corn Starch,
Magnesium Stearate and Microcrystalline
Cellulose.
USP Dissolution Test Pending.
CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
ACTIONS: The mechanism of action in Dermatitis herpetiformis has not
been established. By the kinetic
method in mice, Dapsone is bactericidal as well as bacteriostatic
against _Mycobacterium leprae_.
ABSORPTION AND EXCRETION: Dapsone, when given orally, is rapidly and
almost completely absorbed.
About 85 percent of the daily intake is recoverable from the urine
mainly in the form of water-soluble
metabolites. Excretion of the drug is slow and a constant blood level
can be maintained with the usual
dosage.
BLOOD LEVELS: Detected a few minutes after ingestion, the drug reaches
peak concentration in 4 to 8
hours. Daily administration for at least eight days is necessary to
achieve a plateau level. With doses of
200 mg daily, this level averaged 2.3 mcg/ml with a range of 0.1 to
7.0 mcg/ml. The half-life in the
plasma in different individuals varies from ten hours to fifty hours
and averages twenty-eight hours.
Repeat tests in the same individual are constant. Daily administration
(50 to 100 mg) in leprosy patients
will provide blood levels in excess of the usual minimum inhibitory
concentration even for patients with
a short Dapsone half-life.
INDICATIONS AND USAGE
Dermatitis herpetiformis: (D.H.)
Leprosy: All forms of leprosy except for cases of proven Dapsone
resistance.
