Glucose-6-Phosphate-Dehydrogenase-Inhibitor

Glucose-6-phosphate-dehydrogenase-inhibitor (G6PD-I) is a type of drug used to treat certain diseases or conditions. G6PD-I works by inhibiting the enzyme glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD). G6PD is an enzyme that helps to break down glucose in the body, and when it is inhibited, the body cannot process glucose properly. This can lead to an accumulation of glucose in the body, which can cause a variety of problems, including diabetes and other metabolic disorders. G6PD-I is used to treat conditions such as diabetes, hyperglycemia, and glycosuria. It can also be used to treat certain types of anemia caused by G6PD deficiency. G6PD-I can be taken orally or intravenously, depending on the condition being treated.
