Consumer:Consumer information for this minor interaction is not currently available. Some minor drug interactions may not be clinically relevant in all patients. Minor drug interactions do not usually cause harm or require a change in therapy. However, your healthcare provider can determine if adjustments to your medications are needed.
Professional:Theoretically, coadministration of dapsone with inducers of CYP450 3A4 such as rifamycins, anticonvulsants, barbiturates, and St. John's wort may increase the formation of dapsone hydroxylamine, a metabolite associated with hemolysis. Dose-related hemolysis is the most common adverse event associated with oral dapsone in both patients with or without glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency. While clinical studies have not demonstrated evidence of clinically significant anemia in patients treated with dapsone 5% gel for acne vulgaris, an increased reticulocyte count and a decreased hemoglobin level were noted to be associated in a G6PD-deficient patient. Exposure to dapsone from the recommended topical dose is about 1% of that from a 100 mg oral dose.
