Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can.
These are pretty high levels and limarin may just slightly reduce it. I think that exact cause of jaundice should be established first and then right treatment can be started. If there is viral hepatitis or bile obstruction than no medication can help so you should investigate cause of such high liver markers first.

I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time.
Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
