Overview

Sulfones are regarded as drugs with ever increasing therapeutical potential in different entities in dermatology. Possible indications cover a range of skin disorders and they are frequently underestimated. This article deals with aspects of chemical structure, pharmacology, mechanism of action including anti-inflammatory and antiprotozoal activities, approved indications, side effects, and summarizes unapproved indications – both recommended and not recommended in dermatology. Data included could be helpful in our decision to use such drug in the treatment of various diseases.

Key words:
sulfones – dapsone – dermatology
