Brief Answer:
No..Dont try self meds..

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome to Healthcare Magic,

From your clinical presentation, the reason for elevated liver enzymes is --- due to liver injury caused by Alcohol consumption. And in this case if you take Metrogyl , like you think - problem will become upside down . Because Metrogyl will have serious drug interaction with Alcohol. And also i would like point out Metrogyl has NO use at all in reducing your elevated liver enzymes.

Only the solution for your problem is to STOP alcohol consumption and add some liver protective medications in your list ..like Ursodiol 150mg once daily for a month.

If you have any problems with avoiding alcohol, consult a physician nearest to your location.

regards,
DR.VENKAT M.D
