Although dapsone and sulfapyridine have been used for years in dermatology, there has not always been a clear understanding of how these agents work. Recent investigation, however, has shed new light on thes agents which now allows a more rational approach to their use. This review is an attempt to familiarize the clinician with how these agents work, in what disease states they are effective, how to administer them, what adverse effects may occur, and how to monitor the patient to detect these adverse effects.
