Hi Corilee,
To be clear methylene blue and the blue dye associated with worsening outcomes in sepsis are 2 different molecules. Methylene blue is not contraindicated and has even been used as an intravenous drug to treat septic shock in small randomized trials. Methylene blue acts as a selective iNOS inhibitor.
