I've been taking this drug for a year now to combat Dermatitis Herpetiformis. It works great, but after the first of the year, I tried to get a refill and was told that they no longer make this drug. What is going on?

After being treated with 2 pills a day of Dapsone, I began have cold sores on my upper lip. This was about 3 weeks after beginning the medication. I discontinued it and the sores began to heal
