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…

Reading Time: 7 minutes. Bladder cancer is a prevalent and potentially life-threatening condition that requires accurate and reliable diagnostic tools. In recent years, the use of blue light cystoscopy (BLC) has emerged as a promising technique for the detection of bladder cancer, surpassing the limitations of traditional white light cystoscopy (WLC). This article aims to…

Despite methylene blue‘s compelling biochemical rationale—it enhances mitochondrial function, reduces oxidative stress, and dampens neuroinflammation—you’ll find its track record in ALS research disappointingly underwhelming. The compound showed no survival benefit or motor improvement in SOD1(G93A) mouse models, the gold standard for preclinical ALS testing. While simpler organisms, such as C. elegans,…

Methylene Blue and Serotonin/MAOI Risks
Mark
Reading Time: 6 minutes. Methylene blue is the first-line, FDA-approved antidote for acquired methemoglobinemia. It accelerates the NADPH-dependent reduction of ferric (Fe3+) to ferrous (Fe2+) haemoglobin via leuco-methylene blue, rapidly restoring the oxygen-carrying capacity. Indicated when methemoglobin levels are≥20–30% or earlier if symptomatic, dosing is 1–2 mg/kg IV (lower in paediatrics), repeatable once. Risks include…
