Does Febuxostat Consumption Raise SGPT Levels In The Body?
I was having frequent bouts of Gout attacks and found that my uric acid levels were 9 mg/dl. I started taking febuxostat 80mg once daily and with 2 days the uric acid levels dropped to 6.9, but my SGPT is 61 is this a normal drug reaction or should i discontinue using febuxostat ?

Hello,
Since your SGPT level got raised after taking Febuxostat, you can report to your treating doctor so that your treating doctor will order to test the liver enzymes & accordingly the medication can be monitored.
Control uric acid by taking healthy diet. Avoid red meat, focus on lean meat, low-fat dairy products, processed food, refined carbohydrates, cut on alcohol, sodas & sugary food. Exercise regularly & drink plenty of water.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
