Question: What medications will raise SGOT and SGPT levels?

Answered by Dr. Ivo Ditah (1 hour later)

Brief Answer:
Please. what medications are you on!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about these increased SGOT and SGPT levels. Several hundred of medications can cause this. The most common causes are anti tuberculosis medications, chemotherapy agents, etc. The easier way out is to give me a list of your medications to tell whether there is any medication that can do so or not. Also, I will like to know what the values of your SGOT and SGPT are fro more insights and recommendations. Uploading the report would be ideal.

In all, I will greatly appreciate a list of your medications for me to get back to you with responses.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.

Brief Answer:
Crestor is the culprit here!

Detailed Answer:
HI,

Crestor is responsible for these changes. However, it is minimal and we only stop the medication if the increase is more than 1.5 times the upper limit. You are doing good and monitoring is all that is needed at this time.

I wish you well and keep me updated.
