Hi and welcome to HCM.
These medicines can have some effects on liver function but this is usually just mild elevation of LFT or live steatosis. it can also not be related to your drugs,so it can be fatty liver due to other risk factors. also high alp can be caused by bone disorders so this should be considered as well.
Thanks for the query. WIsh you good health. Regards
