A member asked:
My alt range is at 68. i have been taking meloxicam (ant-inflammatory med) once a day for 2-3 weeks. could this medicine be causing this high range?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes : Meloxicam can cause increases in liver enzymes. The elevation you describe is mild but you should discontinue the medication and recheck your liver function. If it remains elevated then there may be another cause. You should also avoid alcohol as well.
