Drug Interactions
Cuando se toma dapsona con rifampicina, su nivel en la sangre disminuye. Si se toma dapsona con probenecid o trimetoprima, su nivel en sangre aumenta. La dapsona también actúa contra (antagoniza) la clofazimina.
Mode of actions
La dapsona actúa impidiendo que las bacterias utilicen PABA, que necesitan para producir ácido fólico. Esto impide que las bacterias produzcan ácido fólico, que es importante para su crecimiento.
