Rosuvastatin & SGPT

2024-08-29 09:54:13
Hello, I've been prescribed by a cardiologist for Rosuvastatin, and have been on it since 2 years now. Family history of heart and diagnosed with dislipidemia. My question is that I did my regular check 3 months ago and found SGPT level of 114. Today after 3 months as well, level is 106. Does Rosuvastatin cause elevated SGPT level ? My diet is normal and I exercise daily. Any suggestions?
