Suggest Treatment For High THC Levels
Question: I have Lupus. My Bilirubin/indirect count was .1 on 01/12/15. I had been smoking marijuana and drinking 4 drinks per day. On 1/14/15, I started taking hydroxychoroquine. I then, quit smoking marijuana and drinking on 01/21/15. I was tested for THC on 01/23/15. Then again on 02/03/15. My THC levels had gone up!!!! I also had taken Azithromycin and used a ventolin inhaler for sinusitis on 01/27/15. Can you explain why my THC levels increased when I had not smoked marijuana? Is my liver impacting these levels? Also, what can I do?
Brief Answer:
Yes probably because of Liver Dysfunction.
Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Your THC levels have raised probably due to Liver Dysfunction. If you stick to your resolution and decision and don't consume marijuana your levels would fall with in 2 weeks.
Get a Ultrasound Abdomen to see the status of liver.
If you have any further query, please ask me.
