Yeah, me doc prescribes it when I have a touch of cyanide poisoning.

This is no longer recommended for urinary tract infections. It does still have some medical uses but quite specific ones for fairly rare situations.

 

Would help if you indicated for what you are using/thinking of using this and in what form e.g. topical, oral etc

Methylene blue is sometimes taken as a supplement to improve brain function, energy levels, and mood. It's also used to treat encephalopathy caused by chemotherapy. 

 

Potential benefits

• Brain function: Methylene blue can improve memory, focus, and mental clarity. It can also help with cognitive impairment. 
   
• Energy: Methylene blue can increase energy levels and reduce fatigue. 
   
• Mood: Methylene blue can help with low mood and anxiety by preventing the breakdown of serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine. 
   
• Skin health: Methylene blue can reduce fine lines and wrinkles. 
   
• Anti-aging: Methylene blue can reduce chronic inflammation and oxidative stress, which are major drivers of aging. 

As the content of this thread is contrary to medical science it is moved to the "off the beaten track" forum. 

I've seen people using it on their dogs for a variety of aliments including bites, scratches, as well as mange here in Thailand.  I'm sure our neighbor thinks it works well for mange as their dog's mange cleared up after they used it. Actually the dog's mange cleared up because I gave it a dose of Bravecto.  Before anyone says, "You didn't have permission," guilty as charged.  I've taken care of a number of the dogs in the neighborhood because their owners neglect them.  In the US it would border on criminal animal cruelty and negligence.  We have a shared soi, and when we come home, if you saw who their dog reacts, you'd think he was one of our own dogs. Other than he is not fenced, he's treated like one of our own, as was their previous dog which quite literally die of neglect.
Back to Methylene Blue, I wouldn't ingest it.  It can be used topically for fungus infections.  I've seen doctors use it for just that in the US.
