Can my grandmother safely take dapsone tablets if she has a high G6PD enzyme level of 18.6?

Asked by Female, 75 · 3 days ago

A G6PD level of 18.6 is normal and not deficient, which is excellent news. The primary concern with dapsone is in individuals with G6PD deficiency (low levels), which can lead to red blood cell breakdown. Since her G6PD levels are healthy, dapsone is generally safe for her to take from this standpoint. However, because she is 75, please ensure her doctor reviews her complete health profile and current medications before she starts.
