Dapsone tablets (diamino-diphenyl sulfone) are an antibacterial most commonly used in combination with rifampicin and clofazimine in a multidrug therapy (MDT) for the treatment of Mycobacterium leprae infections (leprosy). It is also the second-line treatment for prophylaxis (prevention) against Pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP) caused by Pneumocystis jirovecii (formerly P. carinii) in HIV patients in whom CD4 counts are below 200/mm3. Dapsone is an odorless white to creamy-white crystalline powder with a slightly bitter taste, used in combination with pyrimethamine in the treatment of malaria.
