Abstract EN
Vitamin C supplementation is generally regarded as benign.
There has been a resurgence of interest in the general medical community regarding the use of vitamin C most notably in the care of sepsis.
Nonetheless, caution must be taken if supraphysiologic vitamin C supplementation is being administered as it should be considered a medication just like any other.
We present a case of hemolysis in a glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase- (G6PD-) deficient patient receiving high-dose vitamin C infusions for his rheumatoid arthritis.
