dapsone and Obesity

dapsone has been researched along with Obesity in 3 studies

Obesity: A status with BODY WEIGHT that is grossly above the recommended standards, usually due to accumulation of excess FATS in the body. The standards may vary with age, sex, genetic or cultural background. In the BODY MASS INDEX, a BMI greater than 30.0 kg/m2 is considered obese, and a BMI greater than 40.0 kg/m2 is considered morbidly obese (MORBID OBESITY).

" Dapsone, which is extensively used across the globe for dermatological disorders, arachnid bites, and for treatment of several bacterial, fungal, and parasitic diseases, could be affected by obesity."5.24Supervised Machine-Learning Reveals That Old and Obese People Achieve Low Dapsone Concentrations. ( Gumbo, T; Hall, RG; Leff, R; Meek, C; Pasipanodya, JG; Swancutt, MA, 2017)
"In this study, the authors compare plasma dapsone trough levels of multibacillary leprosy subjects stratified by body mass index (BMI) to evaluate if obesity plays a significant role on drug levels."3.80Dapsone and body mass index in subjects with multibacillary leprosy.
