Usage
ACZONE? Gel, 5%, is indicated for the topical treatment of acne vulgaris.
Glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) levels should be obtained prior to initiating therapy with ACZONE? Gel, 5%. In patients with a history of anemia and predisposition to increased hemolytic effect with dapsone (e.g., glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency), closer follow-up for blood hemoglobin levels and reticulocyte counts should be implemented (see PRECAUTIONS). Alternatively, other therapies for acne than ACZONE? Gel, 5%, may be considered.
