Question 1

hi!..my baby is now 5 months old and she is g6pd.what milk formula is safe for her?.... is cerelac flavoured wheat,banana and milk are safe for her?..

Accepted Answer

Ok to start solids: It is ok to start cereal by 4-6 months, but because wheat allergy is common, rice or oatmeal is usually recommended as a first cereal. The type with added fruit and milk is ok.  Continue the same infant formula until your child is close to a year old.  To give variety, add a different vegetable  to the feedings once a week, unless there is a reaction, like rash or vomiting or diarrhea.

Question 2

what is the best formula milk for my 6weeks old baby with g6pd deficiency,  lactum 0-6months is safe for her?

Accepted Answer

Anything: G6PD deficiency does not require a special diet.  Breast feeding is always best but if that cannot be done then any formula is fine to use.

Question 3

is eucalyptus safe for g6pd baby?

Accepted Answer

Is NOT Safe: G6PD Deficiency; a genetic disorder; a key enzyme is lacking causing red blood cell destruction, anemia, jaundice, &amp; more. Symptoms are triggered by: foods (fava beans, ascorbic acid, soy), drugs (Sulfa), other (infections, moth balls, henna), Eucalyptus oil is not safe for any child regardless of having G6PD Def. Safety of the feeding the leaves to children is also unknown &amp; should be avoided.

Question 4

i want list of safe drugs for g6pd pat?

Accepted Answer

Here's the website : That explains this x-linked recessive genetic disorder of metabolism, also called favism because eating fava beans & their products  causes  hemolytic anemia ( the breaking of red blood cells) in people with g6pd deficiency. Anti-malarial drugs & infections  from some  viruses & bacteria can also cause hemolysis. See http://ghr.Nlm.Nih.Gov/condition/glucose-6-phosphate-dehydrogenase-deficiency.

Question 5

is tiki tiki safe for g6pd?

Accepted Answer

Would not recommend: In trying to determine what is in "tiki-tiki", I have run across a number of g6pd forums asking a similar question and the consensus is not safe for g6pd. I do not know why you want to take tiki-tiki (or give tiki-tiki to your child), but i would say the risk/benefit ratio favors staying away from it if you have g6pd. A hemolytic crisis is not worth it. Find something else instead of tiki-tiki.

Question 6

co- amoxiclav is safe for g6pd?

Accepted Answer

: Yes. Neither of the two components (amoxicillin, clavulanic acid) causes problems in persons with the G6PD gene. Smart move to ask to be certain!

Question 7

safe medicine for g6pd patient?

Accepted Answer

G6PD meds: What medicine specifically are you concerned about, or at least what class of medicine do you need. Rather than try to list them here, see this link for a list of g6pd meds that are low-risk:

and here is a list of high-risk drugs:

Question 8

based on nbs, my son has a g6pd def, i give him s26, is it safe for him? he is 2 1/2 months and he is okay, he is now almost 6kg, i think he is okay

Accepted Answer

G6PD deficiency: It is important to know what to avoid in such cases. If he is tolerating it well, he should be fine. Refer to this website for list of foods and medications that should be avoided http://www.g6pd.org/en/G6PDDeficiency/SafeUnsafe/DaEvitare_ISS-it

Question 9

i am g6pd deficient. is it safe for me to consume modafinil ?

Accepted Answer

Yes : After review of several lists of medications to avoid with G6PD deficiency, Modafinil does not appear on any of the lists. it should therefore be safe. Talk to your prescribing physician about the risks, benefits and side effects of your medicine.

Question 10

is bonna infant milk safe for baby has g6pd?

Accepted Answer

Yes, however...: Breast milk is a far better food for babies than any formula but Bonna formula is safe for babies with G6PD.
However, if you can not breast feed then organic infant formula is a far better choice- see https://www.hipp.ph/pediatric-nutrition/products/hipp-organic-infant-formula-0-6-months/hipp-organic-infant-formula-0-6-months/
