Does Keppra Affect Pregnancy Test Results?

I am currently weaning off of trileptal and I am on 500 mg of keppra. I took a pregnancy test but it was negative. I missed my period last month. I usually have a pretty regular cycle. I have most symptoms of pregnancy. Can my meds cause a false negative?

Hello,

Keppra does not affect a urine pregnancy test. If you are much worried, you can opt for a beta HCG test to check whether you are pregnant or not.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
