Important Safety Considerations
Methylene blue requires extra caution compared with many general wellness supplements. It may interact with certain medications and health conditions.
The FDA-approved methylene blue drug label warns about the risk of serotonin syndrome when methylene blue is used with serotonergic drugs, including some antidepressants and other psychiatric medications. The prescribing information also advises avoiding use with serotonergic drugs and opioids because of this risk.
Methylene blue can also be risky for people with G6PD deficiency because hemolysis or hemolytic anemia has been reported in medical use. It should be used only with professional guidance if you have G6PD deficiency, anemia concerns, or blood-related conditions.
Do Not Use Without Medical Guidance If You Take:
- SSRIs
- SNRIs
- MAOIs
- Tricyclic antidepressants
- St. John’s Wort
- Certain opioids
- Psychiatric medications with serotonergic effects
- Sedatives or medications affecting the nervous system
- Blood pressure, diabetes, or cardiovascular medications
