Greetings. Thank you for your questions.
Axcel papain is used together with other physical or chemotherapeutic measures for treatment of oedema and inflammation.So far, the contraindication for the medication is
Blood clotting disease
Generalised or systemic infections
Usage of concomitant therapy with anticoagulant.
Hence it is okay for individual with G6PD deficiency to take this medication. However, I greatly suggest that you refer this matter to your medical doctor for assurance.
