This test is not recommended for patients with active bleeding, acute infection or illness, or in those patients who have received blood transfusions within four weeks. Drugs that may increase fibrinogen levels include estrogens and oral contraceptives. Drugs that may cause decreased levels include anabolic steroids, androgens, phenobarbital, urokinase, streptokinase, and valproic acid. Source: The Gale Group.
