A member asked:
After taking saaz 500 (salfasalazine) for a month test report shows alt(sgpt ) is 188 iu/l and ast(sgot) is 90 iu/l. how to normalize the levels?

It depends: Sulfasalazine may be the cause of abnormal liver tests, but only in a very small percentage of patients. If you also have a fever and rash, it could be a type of hypersensitivity (allergic reaction) and might need to be stopped. You also could have some other liver problems that might need to be treated (like chronic hepatitis infection or other drugs that affect your liver). See your doctor!
