Hi and thanks for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this increased GGT levels. It is true that drugs can cause an increase but it would be interesting to get a detailed history and examination to look for other possible causes like alcohol intake, gall bladder disease, etc. I will recommend that you follow up with your doctor for a more comprehensive evaluation to identify the cause and address and not focusing entirely on drugs that may contribute but not explain the increased entirely. This is more likely as the increased is so so much and drugs alone see unlikely to be at the origin of this.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thank you so much for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
