Long-term methylene blue use appears safe at therapeutic doses of 0.5-2 mg/kg body weight, with typical protocols using 10-30 mg daily for neurological benefits. Research indicates doses exceeding 5 mg/kg approach toxic territory, causing cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, and haematological complications. The compound exhibits a narrow therapeutic window, where low doses enhance mitochondrial…

Methylene blue exhibits significant therapeutic utility in specific clinical scenarios; however, its safety profile necessitates rigorous assessment prior to administration. Absolute contraindications include glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency, severe renal impairment, and documented hypersensitivity reactions. The compound carries a Pregnancy Category X classification due to established teratogenic effects and elevated fetal mortality rates,…

Methylene blue is contraindicated in G6PD deficiency because it requires NADPH for its therapeutic action of reducing methemoglobin to functional haemoglobin. In G6PD-deficient individuals, NADPH production is impaired, resulting in insufficient glutathione levels necessary to combat oxidative stress. When administered, methylene blue can trigger severe intravascular hemolysis by exacerbating oxidative damage…
The Power of Influence: Unpacking Obedience and Authority
Mark
Reading Time: 5 minutes. The power of influence greatly shapes human behaviour, especially in obedience to authority. Psychological experiments, such as Milgram’s, have shown that ordinary individuals can commit harmful actions under the guidance of authority. Authority’s influence is profound, and group dynamics further amplify its effect. The Milgram experiment highlights how proximity and social…

Methylene blue is a redox-active antidote for methemoglobinemia dosed by weight. Typical dosing is 1 mg/kg IV over 5–30 minutes, diluted in 5% dextrose; avoid sodium chloride. Do not exceed 5 mg/kg/day or 7 mg/kg cumulative (stricter: ≤4 mg/kg for aniline/dapsone). In paediatrics, standard doses are 0.3–1 mg/kg with a single…

Methylene blue shows promise for anxiety through its mitochondrial-enhancing effects, particularly improving fear extinction in claustrophobia trials at 260 mg doses. You’ll find evidence suggesting enhanced memory consolidation and ATP production in neural circuits, though research remains limited by inconsistent dosing protocols and variable patient responses. It’s contraindicated if you’re taking…
