Hello,
Thank you for your contact to health care magic. I understand your concern. If I am your doctor I suggest you that many of the patients has drug induced jaundice, I also suspect same thing in you. Have you gone for hepatitis B or C test, and what is the result for the same. Drug induced hepatitis will disappear once the drug has withdrawn you can check it after withdrawing.
