What is Methylene Blue?

Methylene Blue is a prescription medication used to treat methemoglobinemia. Methemoglobinemia is a blood disorder in which an abnormal amount of methemoglobin is produced by the body. Hemoglobin is the protein in red blood cells (RBCs) that carries and distributes oxygen to the body. Methemoglobin is a form of hemoglobin that does not carry oxygen. 

Methylene Blue works by converting methemoglobin to a usable form of hemoglobin, which can efficiently carry oxygen throughout the body. Methylene Blue is administered as an intravenous (IV) injection by a medical professional in a clinical setting. A standard IV infusion can take up to 30 minutes to complete. Blood pressure, oxygen levels, kidney function, and other vital signs may be monitored while this medication is given. Your blood will also need to be tested to help your doctor determine that the medicine is working. 

Tell your doctor about any medical conditions you have or other medications you may be taking, especially antidepressants or other drugs that affect serotonin levels. You should not be treated with this medication if you are allergic to any of its ingredients or if you have a genetic enzyme deficiency called glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency.
