A member asked:
I'm on carbamazepine(300 mg) for the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia can it lead to elevated ggt level?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not conclusive : First of all, a single blood test in isolation do not provide enough information to form any definitive conclusions. A number of tests must be performed to have any meaning. Carbamazepine may cause an elevated GGT level, but also NSAIDs OTC may. Talk to your treating physician to find out what the test could mean for you. Carbamazepine 300mg for TN is a very small dose.
