Continuous Cold And Cough, LFT Showed High Bilrubin, Prescribed Cough Medicines, Liveril Forte. Guidance?
Hi Doctor, I am Kapur/28/M. from last month I am having cough/ cold related symptoms. I was taking antibiotics and other tablets. In LFT my sgot is 55 and sgpt is 74 bilrubin 0.9 direct bilrubin 0.2 and indirect bilrubin 0.7. Also my weight got reduced by 4 kg. I saw many doctors and most of them are concerned only about bilrubin and told me that other counts are fine and asked me to medcine for cough/cold and liveril forte for sgpt control. Can you please guide me.

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
Certain antibiotics can cause alteration in liver enzymes. In your case the alteration is very minimal and should not be a cause for concern as other liver enzymes are normal.
You can continue with liver tonics containing ornnithine such as hepamerz tablets.
Stop the antibiotics as early as possible.
I hope this answers your querry.
