Can zinadol(cefuroxime) induce hemolytic anemia to g6pd patients? there is a risk of hemolysis with cephalosporins, is it greater for g6pd patients?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not likely a risk: The list of antibiotics to avoid in patients with G6PD deficiency include nitrofurans, sulfonamides and quinones (and chloramphenicol). Some of these are considered to be safe at usual doses for class II and III disease. Cephalosporins should not contribute to hemolysis.
