Acalypha indica induced haemolysis in G6PD deficiency.

S P Lamabadusuriya1, U K Jayantha.   

Abstract

Four patients who developed acute intravascular haemolysis after ingestion of a broth containing Acalypha indica (Sinhala: Kuppameniya) are reported. All four patients were found to have glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency. It is a common belief that ayurvedic medicines are free of side effects. Our report confirms again the fallacy of this belief.
