    Glossary Dapsone

    medication used to treat bacterial infections and certain skin conditions

    Dapsone is a medication primarily used to treat bacterial infections, particularly leprosy and dermatitis herpetiformis, a skin condition. It has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, making it useful in managing certain autoimmune conditions and skin disorders. For professionals, it's important to note that Dapsone works by inhibiting bacterial synthesis of dihydrofolic acid, and it can also be used off-label for conditions like acne and certain types of alopecia.
