Aczone (dapsone) Gel is a topical medication used to treat acne. It is an anti-inflammatory and antibacterial agent that can be particularly effective for inflammatory acne vulgaris. Suitable for adults and children ages 12 years and older, Aczone Gel is applied once a day to affected areas and can be part of a combination acne treatment plan as prescribed by a dermatologist.
Aczone contains the active ingredient dapsone, which has anti-inflammatory properties and also works to reduce the number of acne-causing bacteria on the skin. Unlike other topical treatments that may irritate the skin, Aczone is known to be gentle and well-tolerated by most users, making it a favorable option for many with sensitive skin.
| Usage | Aczone Gel should be applied once daily to clean, dry skin. Only a pea-sized amount is needed for each area of the face (forehead, chin, each cheek) affected by acne. It is important to avoid the eyes, lips, and mucous membranes. Hands should be washed immediately after application. Aczone may be used alone or with other acne treatments; if additional topical acne medication is used, it is recommended to apply it at a different time of day to avoid potential interactions. |

| Side Effects | ● Dryness ● Redness ● Oiliness ● Peeling of treated skin |
| Storage | Aczone Gel should be stored at room temperature, away from heat and moisture. It should not be frozen. Keep the tube tightly closed and out of the reach of children and pets. After the expiration date or once it is no longer needed, dispose of it following guidelines provided by a pharmacist or local waste disposal agency. |
| Special Precautions | Before beginning treatment with Aczone Gel, patients should inform their dermatologist of their medical history, particularly if they have glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency, hemoglobinopathy, or if they are using oral dapsone or antimalarial medications. Patients must also inform their provider if they are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding. Aczone Gel should be cautiously used in patients who are using benzoyl peroxide-containing products, as this combination may temporarily discolor the skin or facial hair. |
| Overdose | While overdose with topical application is unlikely, if someone has accidentally ingested Aczone Gel or uses it more frequently or in larger amounts than prescribed, they should seek medical attention promptly. Symptoms of an overdose may mirror the side effects listed above, potentially in a more severe form. |
