Question

List of the drugs which can cause elevated creatinine levels

Answer 1

The antibiotic trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and the H2-blockercimetidine are 2 commonly used drugs that decrease the secretion of creatinine. This can result in a self-limited and reversible increase in the serum creatinine level of as much as 0.4 to 0.5 mg/dL (depending on baseline serum creatinine level).
