Primaquine will cause a degree of hemolysis in ALL individuals with G6PD deficiency, irrespective of their particular mutation.
The clinical significance of this hemolysis will depend mainly on the initial hemoglobin levels of the patient and the dose of drug given.
Mutations that confer lower enzyme levels may have greater risk, but even patients with A- can still have serious hemolytic anemia after primaquine.
When possible, G6PD deficiency should be excluded before the standard therapeutic dosage for radical treatment of P. vivax and P. ovale malaria is administered.
At present, for radical cure of P. vivax (eradication of dormant parasites in the liver), in patients who are G6PD deficient, WHO guidance (see related link) is:
if glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is known or suspected, 0.75 mg/kg weekly for 8 weeks.
What else can I help you with?
Why the patient that have g6pd deficient cannot take paracetamol and why?
Can you be around fire works if you have g6pd
Can women get G6PD deficiency?
G6pd Defiecienct is inherited from one or both of your parents. It cannot be passed from one person to another in any other way. Females can be carriers, G6pd deficient or unaffected. If both the mother and father are G6pd deficient then all their children will be g6pd deficient.
Can terbinafine be taken by a G6PD patient?
yes
Can a g6pd patient take cefdinir?
Patients with G6PD deficiency should generally use caution when taking cefdinir. While cefdinir is not typically associated with hemolytic reactions, individual responses can vary. It's always best for G6PD-deficient patients to consult their healthcare provider before starting any new medication, including cefdinir, to ensure safety and appropriate management.
Is bonna milk safe for a g6pd deficient baby?

Can you take tramadol with g6pd?
Tramadol is not on the list of contraindicated drugs for those with G6PD. Remember to always tell your doctor and pharmacist that you are G6PD Deficient and have them verify that the medicine is allowable for your use. An answer of 'probably' isn't really acceptable from a doctor making $300 an hour ;)
Is salbutamol nebule are safe in patient with g6pd?
Salbutamol nebulization is generally considered safe for patients with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency. While there is a potential risk of hemolytic anemia with certain medications in G6PD-deficient individuals, salbutamol is not typically associated with such adverse effects. However, it is always important for patients to consult their healthcare provider before starting any new medication to ensure it is appropriate for their specific condition.
Is there a genetic test for deficiency of G6PD?
Yes. Direct DNA testing and sequencing of the G6PD gene are possible, and there is also a fast an inexpensive test called the "Beutler flourescent spot test" that can be performed on the blood of a patient suspected of having G6PD.
Can you take Mucinex if you have the G6pd deficiency?
Hello, This would be a good link for you to have...It has a list of what we can and can't take, eat or inhale with A Glucose 6 Phosphate Enzyme Deficiency. http://www.g6pd.org/favism/english/index.mvc?pgid=avoid
At what age do boys have G6PD Deficency?
Anyone (male or female) with G6PD was BORN with it!People that are G6PD deficient are so because of a mutated gene on the X chromosome. In some cases, the symptoms do not appear later on in life as red cell production decreases; however, the person is deficient from conception, as their body is unable to to make any, or enough, g6pd. To put it in laymen's terms, G6PD is involved in a cellular process that helps your red blood cell's ability to fight oxidative stress. Too much stress, they die, and so can your body. However, if all foods, meds and other contraindicated substances are avoided (just like Superman avoided Kryptonite), most people can do quite well and live symptom free!For the most up to date and accurate information on the web concerning G6PD go to: g6pddeficiency.org
Is nestogene 1 is good for g6pd?
Nestogen 1 is a formula designed for infants and is generally considered safe for most babies. However, for infants with G6PD deficiency, it's essential to consult a pediatrician before introducing any formula, as individual dietary needs and sensitivities can vary. While Nestogen 1 does not typically contain ingredients known to be harmful to G6PD-deficient infants, professional medical advice is crucial for ensuring safety and nutritional adequacy.
Can a G6PD patient take zithromax?
Azithromycin is in a class of medications called macrolide antibiotics.

To be safe, always tell your doctor what you have been diagnosed with and what medications and supplements you are taking.
