Aspirin + Dapsone - Drug Interactions

Dapsone does not significantly affect pharmacokinetics of aspirin

Clinical evidence,mechanism, importance and management

A comparison of pharmacokinetics of aspirin in 8 healthy subjects and 8 patients with uncomplicated lepromatous leprosy found that pharmacokinetics of a single 600mg dose of aspirin was not affected by either leprosy, or by treatment with dapsone 100mg daily for 8 days (See reference number 1). No special precautions would seem likely to be needed on concurrent use.
