Chlorproguanil/dapsone (sold commercially as Lapdap) was a fixed dose antimalarial combination containing chlorproguanil and dapsone,[1] which act synergistically against malaria. The drug was withdrawn in 2008 following increasing evidence of toxicity in the form of haemolysis occurring in patients with G6PD deficiency.[2]
