Hi,

Generally, the products elaborated by you have no hemolytic effects in G6PD deficient persons. However, the effect of these products may vary person to person and some may be more prone to specific products, where as others may not. However, you should always consult your health care provider in this regard. If in doubt, always start with a very low dose and you may increase the dose gradually, if there is no untoward effect with low doses.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
