Does Increased Dosage Of ONFI For Epilepsy Affect Parathyroid Hormone Levels?

Hello, I had a kidney transplant 11 years ago. I also have epilepsy. My neurologist just had a test taken for my Keppra and because of the results he lowered Keppra and increased ONFI. My PTH was 146 much higher than
the correct 15-65 level. Does ONFI effect the PTH level??

Hi, as such ONFI doesnot cause any changes in PTH level. Your neurologist started ONFI because he reduced keppra level due to abnormal keppra level in the blood. So to maintain your anticonvalsant level he strated ONFI. You can ask similar querries.. thank you.
