Reading Time: 6 minutes. Methylene blue (MB) and NAD+ exhibit complementary redox roles that stabilise mitochondrial electron transport. NAD+ accepts hydrides in the Krebs cycle, sustaining Complex I activity, while low-dose MB shuttles electrons and oxidises NADH/NADPH, preserving ATP synthesis under stress. MB transiently activates AMPK and protects telomeres; NAD+ supports sirtuins and PARPs for…

Reading Time: 15 minutes. Methylene blue demonstrates both therapeutic potential and significant risks for kidney health. Clinical studies demonstrate nephroprotective properties through the modulation of redox reactions and activation of the Nrf2/ARE pathway, resulting in documented improvements in creatinine clearance and a reduction in tubular injury markers. However, strict medical supervision is essential due to toxicity…

Reading Time: 14 minutes. Long-term exposure to methylene blue poses significant health risks, necessitating careful monitoring. Chronic use can lead to cumulative oxidative stress, affecting the cardiovascular, renal, and neurological systems. At doses exceeding 5 mg/kg, patients risk developing methemoglobinemia, serotonin toxicity, and severe organ complications. The compound exhibits a biphasic response: while low doses…

Reading Time: 11 minutes. Methylene blue is being explored for Long COVID due to antiviral actions (spike–ACE2 blockade, Zn2+ ionophore effects, RdRp inhibition, lysosomal pH elevation) and immunomodulation (NLRP3, NF-κB, PD-1–SHP2). In vitro data show low micromolar inhibition; small acute COVID-19 trials suggest improved SpO2 and inflammatory markers without a clear mortality benefit. Its mitochondrial…

Methylene Blue and G6PD Deficiency: Why It Can Be Unsafe

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,…
