Hello dear user!
I have gone through your query and understood your concerns!
Thank you for sharing them on healthcaremagic.
Increased levels of urobilinogen indicate a liver damage. It may be due to the medications but also due to liver or gastrointestinal tract infections. Please do not neglect this situation. Have a consultation with your doctor to determine the real cause which has caused that. A liver ultrasound examination and Liver enzymes, SGPT, SGOT, bilirubin also are needed to evaluate the condition of the liver. If the medical cause is excluded then your doctor may ask you to go through additional examinations.
I hope this answer was helpful to you!
