Dapsone Gel

Generic For Aczone®

starting at $149.99

Dapsone gel is a topical medication primarily used to treat acne. It works by reducing inflammation and targeting bacteria that contribute to acne formation. Dapsone is part of the sulfone class of antibiotics, and its anti-inflammatory properties help decrease the number of acne lesions and promote clearer skin. It is applied directly to the affected areas and is typically well-tolerated, with mild side effects like skin dryness or irritation in some cases.

Dapsone gel is a topical agent used to treat mild to moderate acne

Dapsone works by inhibiting dihydropteroate synthase, an enzyme necessary for folic acid synthesis in bacteria, which disrupts bacterial growth

The 5% gel is often applied twice per day, whereas the 7.5% strength is often applied just once per day

Dapsone belongs to the sulfone class of antibiotics, which are distinct from other commonly used acne treatments like retinoids and benzoyl peroxide

Dapsone is often reserved when other first line treatments are not effective and/or for patients with sensitive skin as it is generally well tolerated
