The provided reference lists substances associated with elevated amylase levels, rather than methods to raise amylase intentionally. Therefore, the following list contains medications and substances known to potentially increase amylase levels, which might be misconstrued as "raising" amylase.
Here are some medications and substances that can be associated with increased amylase levels in the body:
- Asparaginase
- Aspirin
- Birth control pills
- Cholinergic medicines
- Ethacrynic acid
- Methyldopa
- Opiates (codeine, meperidine, and morphine)
- Thiazide diuretics
Important Considerations:
- Medical Supervision: Amylase levels should only be altered under the direct supervision of a qualified medical professional. Elevated amylase can indicate a medical condition.
- Underlying Cause: It is crucial to determine the underlying cause of low amylase before attempting to raise it. A doctor can perform tests to diagnose any underlying health issues.
- Medication Side Effects: The medications listed above can have various side effects and should only be taken as prescribed by a doctor. Do not take these solely to manipulate amylase levels.
Why Might Someone Need to Increase Amylase?
Low amylase levels can indicate pancreatic damage or other digestive issues. However, this is relatively uncommon. Before trying to increase amylase, a doctor needs to confirm a deficiency.
