Hello,
Thanks for the consult.
Brief answer,
Methylphenidate may cause rise in serum bilirubin and lowering white blood cell count
Detailed explanation,
1. I read your query and I am happy to help you. You mentioned that your child age 15years having rise in serum bilirubin and lowering white blood cell count.
2. These results might be due to methylphenidate use
3. Research suggests that who take methylphenidate having these findings particularly in age group of 10-20% are high
4. So better to consult the doctor who suggest to use methylphenidate
Hope this information helps you.
