Hello, 
CETRIZINE can't cause high values of SGPT.
Although the most common cause for high levels of SGPT is generally due to 
consumption of alcohol.
Use of certain medications like pain killers,anti depressants,antibiotics,herbal medicines etc can  also result in high GGTP.
Other conditions which can increase SGPT levels are
Obesity.
High triglyceride levels
Diabetes etc

I advise you to get lipid profile done along with blood sugar levels.

Since there is no particular medicine for its cure,I advise following things 
Do regular exercises 
Stop taking any medication
Take fresh fruits and green vegetables 
Avoid junk foods like pizzas,burgers,noodles etc and colas. 
Reduce weight and be in required range of BMI. 

Get SGPT repeated again after 3 months and if you still find it high,then consult a gastroenterologist and get tested for hepatitis markers and other relevant tests. 
Thanks
