Drug & supplement interaction

Aloe + Dapsone

Dapsone brand names: Dapsone, Avlosulfon, Aczone.

No Known Interaction

Medically reviewed by Dr. Brian Staiger, PharmD, BCPS · Updated July 2026 · Pair last verified Sep 13, 2026

The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Aloe and Dapsone in our sources. Absence of a documented interaction is not the same as proven safety, and does not guarantee one does not exist. Do not start, stop, or change a medication or supplement based on this page; confirm with your pharmacist or doctor first. Additionally, although there is no interaction, the two are separately associated with some of the same side effects, which would make a new symptom harder to attribute to one or the other.

Interaction report

Aloe and Dapsone

We checked these two against our interaction database. Here is what we found.

No Known Interaction Found

We did not find a documented interaction between Dapsone and Aloe in our sources. This does not guarantee that the combination is completely free of risk — there is often limited research on supplements and herbal products, especially around drug interactions.

If you decide to take both, the practical routine is simple: add one new thing at a time and note the date you started it. If the combination is going to disagree with you, it usually shows in the first days to a couple of weeks — and a start date turns “I’ve been feeling off” into something a pharmacist can actually work with. Do not stop a prescribed medicine on your own.

Always talk with your pharmacist or doctor before making changes to your medications or supplements, particularly if you take several medications or have an ongoing health condition.

How we checked

Why No Interaction Is Listed for Dapsone

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Dapsone is filed under 7 classifications — including antibiotic drugs, topical drugs, photosensitizing drugs. Aloe has documented interactions with 7 drug classes — the most serious being digoxin (lanoxin) (major), anticoagulant/antiplatelet drugs (moderate) and antidiabetes drugs (moderate) — and none of Dapsone’s classifications are among them.

Classification data comes from our licensed Natural Medicines dataset. A medication can belong to classes beyond those recorded there, so this describes how the check was run — it is not a safety guarantee.

Keep it in perspective

Aloe Does Interact With Other Medications

Aloe has 1 major, 304 moderate, 156 minor known drug interactions in our database — Dapsone isn’t one of them. If you take anything else, check it against the full list below.

What to actually watch for

No Interaction Found — But Data Suggests Aloe and Dapsone May Share Several of the Same Side Effects

This is not an interaction. Neither one changes how your body handles the other, and nothing here says they react together. What our sources do show is that each has separately been linked to the effects below — so taking both can make those effects more likely to turn up, and harder to pin on one or the other if they do. 2 of them are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

Muscle weakness Worth acting on Additional detail
Aloe
“Orally, aloe latex can cause abdominal pain and cramps. Long-term use or abuse of aloe latex can cause diarrhea, sometimes with hypokalemia, albuminuria, hematuria, muscle weakness, weight loss, arrhythmia, and pseudomelanosis coli (pigment spots in intestinal mucosa). Pseudomelanosis coli is believed to be harmless, and usually reverses with discontinuation of aloe.”

Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 10,640 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Dapsone that mention that effect — a reporting proportion, not an incidence rate and not evidence the drug caused it. Wording is matched across sources by our own clinical vocabulary, so treat this as a prompt to pay attention, not a diagnosis.

Special populations

Aloe in Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Pregnancy Possibly Unsafe

When used orally. Anthraquinones present in aloe latex and aloe whole leaf extracts have irritant, cathartic, and possible mutagenic effects. There are also anecdotal reports and evidence from animal research that anthraquinones or aloe whole leaf extracts might induce abortion and stimulate menstruation; avoid using.

Lactation Possibly Unsafe

When aloe preparations are used orally. Cathartic and mutagenic anthraquinones present in aloe latex and aloe whole leaf extracts might pass into milk; avoid using.

This page covers Aloe only. If you take other supplements — a multivitamin, a sleep aid, something for joints — the Dapsone page lists 215 supplements it has a documented interaction with, worst first, each one explained.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Dapsone page

“Dapsone treats serious conditions, from dermatitis herpetiformis to leprosy, and its supplement list is one I'd want a patient to read closely rather than skim. Most entries touch how the body handles dapsone through the CYP3A4 enzyme, so grapefruit can raise its blood level while St.”

About Aloe

What is Aloe?

Minor burns and skin irritation
Wound healing
Constipation
Skin hydration and moisturizing
Digestive complaints
Hair and scalp care

Aloe vera gel is widely used on the skin for minor burns and irritation, and some research suggests it may help. Aloe latex (the yellow part) is a strong laxative that can cause cramping and is not considered safe for regular use. Talk to your pharmacist or doctor before taking aloe by mouth, and avoid oral aloe during pregnancy.

Aloe vera · Asphodelaceae · Leaves (gel from the inner leaf and latex from just under the skin) · Topical gels and creams, juice, capsules, tablets, and as an ingredient in cosmetics and skin care products

An interaction check asks whether these two react with each other — it does not ask whether Aloe is a good idea for someone in your situation. Here is what our Aloe record says about it on its own.

Aloe: dosing

There is no single standard dose of aloe. The right amount depends on the product, the form, and how it is used.For skin products, follow the directions on the label and apply to clean skin.

Most-Reported Side Effects for Dapsone

From FAERS, the FDA’s public side-effect reporting system (10,640 reports, all brands). Reports are voluntary and are not proof the drug caused the effect.

Taking Aloe and Dapsone Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take Aloe with Dapsone?

We do not list a known interaction between Aloe and Dapsone. That does not guarantee the combination is risk-free, so confirm with your pharmacist or doctor — especially if you take other medications or have a health condition.

Do Aloe and Dapsone have any of the same side effects?

Yes — our sources link each of them separately to 5 of the same effects. That is not an interaction: neither changes how your body handles the other. It does mean that if one of those effects turns up, it can be harder to tell which one is behind it. They are listed on this page with the source behind each.

How was the Aloe and Dapsone combination checked?

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes. Dapsone is filed under 7 classifications, and Aloe has documented interactions with 7 drug classes — none of Dapsone's classifications are among them. A medication can belong to classes beyond those recorded in our dataset, so this describes how the check was run rather than guaranteeing safety.

Does Aloe interact with any other medications?

Yes. Aloe has 461 documented drug interactions in our database — Dapsone is simply not one of them. If you take anything else, it is worth checking each one; they are all listed on this page.

Does Dapsone interact with any supplements?

Yes. Dapsone has documented interactions with 215 supplements in our database — Aloe is not one of them. The Dapsone interaction page linked on this page lists every one, ranked by severity.
