How it is used
Lumeblue (previously Methylthioninium chloride Cosmo) can only be obtained with a prescription. The recommended total dose is 200 mg methylthioninium chloride (8 tablets) by mouth taken the day before the colonoscopy together with a bowel cleansing preparation (a medicine that clears all solid matter from the colon) of 4 litres in total. The first 3 tablets should be taken after drinking at least 1 litre of the bowel cleansing preparation; the next 3 tablets should be taken 1 hour after the first dose and the last 2 tablets should be taken 1 hour after the second dose.
How it works
The active substance in Lumeblue (previously Methylthioninium chloride Cosmo), methylthioninium chloride (also called methylene blue), enters cells such as those in the small intestine and colon and temporarily stains the lining of these organs. Because the amount of methylthioninium chloride taken up by different types of cells varies, the medicine helps doctors identify any abnormalities in the makeup of the lining. The tablets have a special coating which allows the medicine to reach the colon before methylthioninium chloride is slowly released to stain the lining evenly.
