Product Introduction
Methylene Blue 10mg/mL, 10mL is an intravenous antidote for acquired methaemoglobinaemia, a condition in which abnormal haemoglobin carries oxygen poorly.
How to use
The clinical team administers a measured slow intravenous dose and monitors response using appropriate blood tests. Concentration and body weight determine the administered volume. It is not a subcutaneous, intrathecal or oral supplement preparation.
How it works
Methylene blue is reduced to leucomethylene blue in red cells, which helps convert methaemoglobin iron back to a form that carries oxygen.
Side effects
Nausea, headache, dizziness and blue-green discolouration of urine or skin can occur. Haemolysis and serotonin syndrome are serious risks.
Important information
G6PD deficiency can cause poor response and severe haemolysis. Serotonergic antidepressants, certain opioids and dextromethorphan can interact dangerously. Repeat dosing requires reassessment of response and toxicity.
Uses
- Acquired methaemoglobinaemia when methylene blue is appropriate.
Benefits
Restoring functional haemoglobin improves oxygen transport and can rapidly reverse symptoms caused by methaemoglobin excess.
Can the urine turn blue or green?
Yes. This can reflect excretion of the dye and does not by itself indicate kidney failure.
Can a finger oxygen monitor read inaccurately afterwards?
Yes. The dye can interfere with pulse oximetry, so co-oximetry or other blood measurements may be used.
Why is G6PD deficiency important?
Insufficient reducing capacity can make treatment ineffective and increase red-cell breakdown.
Is the injection suitable for wellness or cognitive-enhancement use?
No established benefit for those purposes follows from its antidote role, and the formulation has significant interaction risks.
