What Causes Creatinine In Blood Indicating Malfunctioning Of The Kidney?

Hi, My husband have been consuming Montek LC anti allergic drug since last 6 months on a daily basis. Recent blood test reports have shown a high level of Creatinine in blood which indicates kidney malfunctioning. Can Montek LC consumption cause a role in that?

Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Montek LC is effective anti-allergic medication to treat the seasonal allergies from dust, smoke, insect skin, pollen and pet allergy which can cause sinus, sneezing and various other health problems.
Most common side effects experienced with its use are - diarrhea, dizziness, cough, headache, vomiting, stomach pain and sore throat.
It needs to be used with caution in patients with history of liver disease, suicidal thoughts, mental problem, and during pregnancy and lactation.
Consumption of this medication is not known to be associated directly with kidney dysfunction.
If your husband's serum creatinine is high, the cause for it needs to be evaluated and treated.
Kindly consult Nephrologist/Urologist for appropriate evaluation and management.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.

Hello dear Greetings
Regarding your husband abnormal creatinine level in the body following intake of montek I am suggesting that he has developed a kidney disease

In view of this please him do the following an abdominal scan and renal bioqto rule enhance the diagnosis of the renal disease

Meanwhile please see an urologist specialist with the results and for further clinical evaluation as well as adequate drug prescription

Moreover the montek is never related to this rise in creatinine in spite of it being used to control Bronchial ashma

I hope this helps
Regards and get well soonest
