L-arginine, a nitric oxide precursor, reduces dapsone-induced methemoglobinemia in rats
Braz. j. pharm. sci; 48 (1), 2012
Dapsone use is frequently associated to hematological side effects such as methemoglobinemia and hemolytic anemia, which are related to N-hydroxylation mediated by the P450 enzyme system. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the influence of L-arginine supplementation, a precursor for the synthes...
