Anyone taking medications should speak with a healthcare professional before use.

Can methylene blue interact with antidepressants?

Yes, this is an important safety consideration.

Methylene blue has monoamine oxidase-inhibiting activity. FDA has reported potentially serious serotonin syndrome when methylene blue is combined with certain serotonergic psychiatric medications, particularly SSRIs, SNRIs, and clomipramine. The available FDA reports primarily involved intravenous methylene blue, and FDA states that the risk from oral methylene blue or lower doses is not well established.

If you take an antidepressant or another serotonergic medication, consult your prescribing physician or pharmacist before using this product.

What medications should I discuss with my doctor before using methylene blue?

Talk with a healthcare professional before use if you take medications that affect serotonin or the nervous system, including certain:

• SSRIs

• SNRIs

• Tricyclic antidepressants

• MAO inhibitors

• Some opioids

• Other psychiatric or serotonergic medications

FDA-approved methylene blue carries a boxed warning concerning serotonin syndrome with concomitant serotonergic drugs.

Do not stop a prescribed medication simply to use this product without speaking with your healthcare professional.

What is serotonin syndrome?

Serotonin syndrome is a potentially serious reaction caused by excessive serotonergic activity.

FDA lists symptoms that may include confusion, agitation, memory problems, muscle twitching, excessive sweating, shivering, diarrhea, coordination problems, and fever.

Seek medical attention promptly if concerning symptoms occur after combining methylene blue with a serotonergic medication.

Who should not use methylene blue?

People with known glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency, or G6PD deficiency, should not use methylene blue unless specifically directed and medically supervised by a physician. FDA prescribing information contraindicates methylene blue in G6PD deficiency because of the risk of severe hemolysis and anemia.

People with known hypersensitivity to methylene blue should also avoid it.

What is G6PD deficiency?

G6PD deficiency is an inherited condition affecting red blood cells. Certain substances can trigger red blood cell breakdown, known as hemolysis, in affected individuals.

Because methylene blue can pose a significant risk in people with G6PD deficiency, anyone who knows or suspects they have this condition should consult a healthcare professional before considering methylene blue.

Can pregnant or nursing women use this product?

Pregnant or nursing women should not use methylene blue without guidance from a qualified healthcare professional.

FDA prescribing information for prescription methylene blue warns that methylene blue may cause fetal harm.

Can I use it if I have a medical condition?

Consult a physician before use if you have any known medical condition, particularly a blood disorder, G6PD deficiency, or if you take prescription medications.

Can methylene blue turn my urine blue or green?

Methylene blue is an intensely colored dye, so discoloration of urine or other bodily fluids can occur after exposure to methylene blue.

If discoloration is accompanied by pain, unusual symptoms, or other concerns, contact a healthcare professional.
