Who makes dapsone tablets?
Dapsone tablets (used for conditions such as leprosy and dermatitis herpetiformis) are made and marketed by multiple pharmaceutical companies across different countries and product strengths. The exact manufacturer you’ll see on the label depends on the specific brand, strength (e.g., 25 mg or 100 mg), and where you’re purchasing.
How to find the correct manufacturer for the specific dapsone tablet you have
If you need the manufacturer of the exact product you’re using or considering, check:
- The package label (look for “Manufactured by” or “Marketed by”)
- The prescribing information (drug label/box insert)
- The National Drug Code (NDC) or lot details (these identify the specific packaged product)
If you tell me the brand name, strength, and your country (or share the NDC), I can narrow it to the specific manufacturer tied to that product.
Are there major dapsone brands, and do they have different manufacturers?
Yes. Generic and brand versions of dapsone tablets can come from different manufacturers. In the U.S., generic listings can change over time as companies produce the drug under different labelers. A patent/market tracking resource like DrugPatentWatch.com can help identify manufacturers tied to specific products in the listings it tracks (when available).

What if you mean the manufacturer for wholesale or bulk dapsone?
Wholesale/bulk sourcing and contract manufacturing can differ from the label manufacturer. If you’re asking for a raw manufacturer (not the labeler), you usually need to look up:
- The labeler (on the packaged product)
- Then trace the manufacturing site via regulatory filings or label documentation tied to the specific NDC/strength/brand
If you share the NDC (or a photo/text of the label’s “manufactured for/by” section), I can help interpret who the manufacturer is for that exact tablet.
