Can I use Rivotril during the fasting period before a blood test?

Expert answer:

Yes, Rivotril can be taken during the fasting period before a blood test, provided that the doctor who ordered the test authorizes its use. Rivotril, as well as other benzodiazepine class drugs, is not identified in the usual blood tests unless it is a specific test for your blood dosage. Although the action of Rivotril does not interfere with the results of common laboratory tests, there may be rare changes caused by it.

Rivotril is a medicine that works in the central nervous system and is used for treatment of seizures, muscle relaxation, sedation and tranquilizers.

The doctor who requested the blood tests or other laboratory tests should always be aware of the medications used by the patient.
