not-yet-known not-yet-known not-yet-known unknown Dapsone-induced methemoglobinemia: A rare encounter of acute toxicity after incidental dose duplication
Key Clinical Message A single accidental double dose of dapsone triggered acute methemoglobinemia in a young patient on long-term therapy.This case highlights the dose-response risk and the need for vigilance, even at doses lower than previously reported for toxicity.Clinicians should recognize this risk and consider cumulative exposure when adjusting dapsone doses.
