Concentrations of dapsone, monoacetyldapsone, and pyrimethamine were determined in 36 serum samples from human immunodeficiency virus-infected patients on prophylaxis with once-weekly administration of dapsone-pyrimethamine (200 mg of dapsone-75 mg of pyrimethamine). During day 1 after ingestion, median levels of 1,038 ng of dapsone per ml and 356 ng of pyrimethamine per ml were found. During days 6 to 7, the dapsone level fell to < 20 ng/ml in five of nine serum samples, but the pyrimethamine level remained elevated (125 ng/ml). Concurrent, but separately ingested, didanosine administration did not seem to decrease the drug concentrations.
