Can Taking Lithosun, Depakote And Oleanz Plus Increase Blood Glucose Level?
Hello Doctor,
This is with regards to my mother who is 59 years old. For more than 9 years she is in taking psychiatric medicines. Last 8 months she is continuing the below medicines which feel that her blood glucose levels have shooted up to 372 post fasting.
Lithosun sr 1-0-1
Depakote 250mg 0-1-0
Oleanz plus 0-0-1
This combination of medicines works good and understand from some sources oleanz plus would induce blood glucose levels very high. Is it true. If so is there any alternate for oleanz plus.
Regards
Sathish
