My Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase (G6PD) level is 474. What foods and medications should I avoid, and what safe treatment options are available?

Asked by Male, 30 · 5 days ago

A G6PD level of 474 is typically within the normal range, meaning you likely do not have a deficiency and do not need to restrict your diet or medications. Please verify this against your laboratory's specific reference chart. If a deficiency is actually present, you should avoid fava beans, mothballs, and triggers like dapsone, primaquine, and sulfamethoxazole. Safe alternatives, such as acetaminophen for pain and non-sulfa antibiotics, are widely available. There is no need to panic, as G6PD status is easily managed. Please consult your doctor to review your results.
