Methylene blue has various applications in conventional medicine. Some common uses include:

Surgical Aid: Methylene blue can be used during certain surgical procedures to help visualize specific structures or to identify abnormal tissues.
Urinary Tract Infections: Methylene blue is sometimes used as a diagnostic agent to detect urinary tract infections and assess kidney function.
Methemoglobinemia: Methylene blue is an antidote used in the treatment of methemoglobinemia, a condition characterized by the abnormal increase of methemoglobin in the blood.
Antimicrobial : Methylene blue possesses antiseptic properties and can be used topically to treat certain infections or wounds.
These are a few examples of the conventional medical uses of methylene blue. It’s important to note that methylene blue IV therapy for cognitive enhancement and wellness purposes, as offered at Meeting Point Health, falls under the domain of functional medicine and is considered an off-label use.
