Abbreviated New Drug Application
DAPSONE- DAPSONE TABLET MARLEX PHARMACEUTICALS INC ---------- DAPS ONE DAPSONE - DAPS ONE TABLET MARLEX PHARMACEUTICALS, INC. ---------- DAPSONE TABLETS USP, 25 MG AND 100 MG 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. CONTRAINDICA 阅读完整的文件
