Abstract
Metoclopramide, a drug with oxidant activity, has infrequently been reported to cause methemoglobinemia in infants. We present a unique case in which a patient on chronic metoclopramide therapy developed sulfhemoglobinemia that resolved with subsequent discontinuation of the drug. Mechanisms that may be important in the formation of sulfhemoglobin also are discussed.
