Hi, Welcome to HCM, I am Dr. Das
Amlodipine and Rosuvastatin does not cause fatty liver.
In our day to day practice fatty liver is the modt common finding.
But in your case the SGOT and SGPT both are elevated it indicates any hepatocellular insult like infection, alcohol ingestion.
What about the other reports of liver function test? Do you have any yellowish discoloration of eye or urine?
If you did not do a Liver function test, first go for it and review the report.
Till then drink more wter and avoid rich food.
