Dexilant (dexlansoprazole) is a proton pump inhibitor used to treat certain stomach and esophagus issues. It is not known to directly affect gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) testing; however, any medication can potentially influence liver enzyme levels indirectly depending on individual metabolism and liver function. If there are concerns about GGT levels while taking Dexilant, it's best to consult a healthcare professional for personalized advice.
The color tube for Gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) testing is typically green or light green.
GGT tests are for liver function, not drugs. So the answer is no. Then again...nothing says the doctor can't also order a THC screen at the same time as the GGT test.
A gold or red/gray tiger top tube (serum separator tube) is typically used for GGT (gamma-glutamyl transferase) testing. This tube contains a clot activator and gel separator to obtain serum for testing.
Gamma Glutamyltransferase. It is a liver function test used in the diagnosis and monitoring of hepatobiliary diseases.

Yes. It is the generic name for Kapidex/Dexilant.
Elevated gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) levels can indicate liver dysfunction or damage, as GGT is an enzyme involved in detoxification processes. Common causes of elevated GGT include excessive alcohol consumption, liver disease (such as hepatitis or cirrhosis), bile duct obstruction, and certain medications. Additionally, conditions like heart failure and pancreatitis can also lead to increased GGT levels. It is essential to interpret elevated GGT results in the context of other liver function tests and clinical findings.
