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:Systemic levels of dapsone and its metabolites following topical administration may be increased in the presence of trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (TMP/SMX). In a drug interaction study, systemic exposure (AUC) of dapsone and N-acetyl-dapsone were increased by about 40% and 20%, respectively, during coadministration with double-strength (160 mg/800 mg) TMP/SMX. Systemic exposure of dapsone hydroxylamine, a metabolite associated with hemolysis, was more than doubled by TMP/SMX. The clinical significance of these changes is unknown. Exposure from the recommended topical dose for acne vulgaris is about 1% of that from a 100 mg oral dose, even when coadministered with TMP/SMX. There were no effects on the systemic levels of TMP or SMX.
