User Reviews for dapsone oral

I've been taking this drug for a year now to combat Dermatitis Herpetiformis. It works great, but after the first of the year, I tried to get a refill and was told that they no longer make this drug. What is going on?

I have been taking this drug for pyoderma gramuloma on my skin for four months. No effect. My rheumatologist added Plaquenill and I have taken it four two months as well as Dapsone. No effect whatsover. I've had this problem for 2 1/2 years-misdiagnosed for two years. I am so frustrated.

new packaging takes forever to get out of the package. Plus it double in price

I had a terrible outbreak of what looked like cankor sores in my mouth and throat in August of 2008. Have been taking Dapsone since then (3 pills a day) and I have had only l or 2 sores frequently and they do not last for more than a few days. I was told that I would have to remain on Dapsone as a maintenance drug indefinitely.

I've been on Dapsone since Nov. 2008 for the treatment of Granuloma. Around 3 weeks ago, I've gotten this really metallic taste in my mouth. In a way if feels like I have a coating in the mouth but then I get really dry mouth. Water tastes terrible. I'm hoping it's from the drug. I've been taking 3 pills a day and am dropping to two pills a day in a week. The Granuloma has almost disappeared and I've seen no new red patches developing.

After being treated with 2 pills a day of Dapsone, I began have cold sores on my upper lip. This was about 3 weeks after beginning the medication. I discontinued it and the sores began to heal

I have dermititus herpeteformis, lots of blisters and black splinters, this keeps the blisters away if i stay gluten free

I've taken this medicine for over a long time, 30 yrs. or more. My physician has told me to take for life so that the bacteria causing this disease will not come back. It's worked and am satisfied, except, I noticed that I have developed a skin pigmentation on my right shoulders in patches. It's not that bad yet but would like to know what I can do to minimize it since there is no cure for Vitiligo. The reason I have to take Dapson for life is prevention, since I am totally cured of the disease.Read More Read Less

i have taken this medication for many years and have found it very difficult to cope without the relief that dapsone brings.

I have been using Dapsone 100 mg/day for vitiligo treatment for 4 year. My patches were recovered quite effectively. There are no side-effects, except a rather pale skin which might caused by the drug. In brief, I feel satisfactory, hopeful but still anxious.

I have been taking this med for about 8 years to treat the effects of dh. I have had no side effects and my symptoms are completely alleviated.

I've had hives for 7 months, taking this each night they have gone ALMOST away completely. My hair is falling out and I have gained 15 lbs....but I don't itch from the hives!!

I've been on this medication for about 21/2 years for sweet syndrome. While I still have outbreaks, they are not anywhere near what they used to be!

I have been noticing dark areas on my face, is this a condition from using dapsone? I have been using for 1 year

The blisters disappeared, but I seem to be getting vey dry skin?

I have been taking dapsone for 1 and 1/2 years now for d.h. It has worked remarkably well for me with no side effects.

The drug sent my body into a lupus flare up. I was in bed with fever & constant body aches until I stopped taking the drug.

After the first day I developed an allergic reaction, I stopped taking it for one day-long enough for the rash to disappear. After I continued taking the pills and all symptoms cleared up. However it has only been two weeks. Hopefully it will last.
