2022, Respiratory Medicine Case ReportsCitation Excerpt :Although inherited causes do exist, acquired methemoglobinemia is much more frequent and usually drug-induced [3]. Treatment usually consists of methylene blue, but severe hemolysis in glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficient patients and serotonin syndrome when other serotonergic drugs are co-administered, have been described [4,5]. We describe a case of primaquine-induced methemoglobinemia in a 67-year-old-male who was successfully treated with ascorbic acid.

2016, European Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology and Reproductive BiologyCitation Excerpt :In some cases, this may be difficult to appreciate even with an experienced eye. Intravenous methylene blue is an alternative to indigo carmine but is not preferred because of its adverse reactions, toxicity profile, and long delay to excretion after intravenous administration, often up to 45 min [11,12]. Oral agents like phenazopyridine and riboflavin have a favorable side effect profile, but are limited by the need to optimize the time interval between dosing, anesthesia, and cystoscopy.
