Does taking rigix affect on your esr test?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Haven't heard that: Haven't heard that cetirizine or sildenafil causes higher or lower ESR test results. Rigix is a brand name. Online websites show it being cetirizine in some countries but sildenafil in other countries. That said, ESR is a blood test of degree of inflammation. Thus, if a rare drug reaction or side effect occurs, with any drug, one's ESR could rise.
