Is toothpaste is prohibited for g6pd deficient, if yes what other alternatives to use?

Not really...: The research has shown that brushing efficacy has no relationship to type, or even use of any toothpaste!

Trigger for g6pd: Of course this is a question for an internist, so call your md asap if toothpaste is really a "trigger" for your disease. However toothpaste is not required for people to enjoy good dental health, not withstanding what madison avenue and the crest people may want you to believe. Consult with your dentist and hygienist, they can provide a wealth of information regarding oral hygiene just for you.
