Brief Answer:
Get the liver profile done before starting these medications>

Detailed Answer:
Dear Madam,

Since you have been taking Headset for migraine and the fact that this drug is known to increase the liver enzymes (caused by? liver injury).
It is better you get the liver function tests done to confirm the abnormally elevated liver enzymes (SGOT & SGPT).

Reheptin contains Folic acid (vitamin) and two important anti oxidants (Silymarin & L-Ornithine L-Aspartate).

These anti oxidants are beneficial in patients with liver disorders. There is no harm in taking these medications. They are known to cause minimal side effects like mild headache and nausea (tolerable).

Regarding the Rubest tablet for high cholesterol, madam can you please send me the pharmacological name of this drug or its components.

Awaiting your reply.
Best regards

Dear Madam,

One of the side effects of Rosuvastatin is once again liver injury ( raised liver enzymes).
So, Reheptin is recommended to prevent the suspected liver injury caused by these two drugs.
However the drugs needs supervision of a qualified physician regularly every 3-6 months.

Hope your doubts regarding the safety profile of the drugs are being clarified.
