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…
