Overview
Norfloxacin, pentoxifylline, inhaled N(G)-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester, nitric oxide inhalation and methylene blue injection, are among suggested and studied medical treatments for HPS. Most of them failed to show efficacy and hence, non of them yet approved as a standard treatment for HPS.
Future or Investigational Therapies
- Norfloxacin, pentoxifylline, inhaled N(G)-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester, nitric oxide inhalation and methylene blue injection, are among suggested and studied medical treatments for HPS. Most of them failed to show efficacy and hence, non of them yet approved as a standard treatment for HPS.
