Methylene blue implicated in potentially fatal serotonin toxicity

This article discusses the potential risks of methylene blue (MB), particularly its inhibition of monoamine oxidase A (MAO A), an enzyme responsible for serotonin breakdown. This inhibition can lead to elevated serotonin levels, increasing the risk of serotonin toxicity when combined with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). Serotonin toxicity, a
