Methylene Blue and G6PD Deficiency: Why It Can Be Unsafe
Mark
Reading Time: 6 minutes. Methylene blue treats methemoglobinemia via NADPH-dependent reduction to leucomethylene blue. In G6PD deficiency, NADPH is insufficient, so the drug cannot reduce methemoglobin and instead amplifies oxidative stress. This triggers Heinz body formation, acute hemolysis, and can worsen hypoxia. FDA labelling lists G6PD deficiency as a contraindication. Warning signs include dark urine,…
