hi! g6pd deficiency is a genetic disorder so you need to know that there is no cure for it. however there are certain precautions that you need to take to avoid problems. there are certain antibiotics and anti malarial drugs that are known to cause red cell breakdown in g6pd deficiency. so always remember to tell you doctor about this so he can give you the right medicines. also certain food like kidney beans, fava beans and all soy bean products like tofu, soy milk should be avoided.
