Summary
Diazoxide, an agent used occasionally in the control of hypertension, has been associated with three haemolytic episodes in one patient. It is suggested that the mode of action is similar to that of diaminodiphenyl sulphone (dapsone) in acting as an oxidant stress to the ageing erythrocyte.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
