Atorvastatin : Depending on your "baseline" liver function tests (lfts) before starting atorvastatin, if the ot and pt values are significantly elevated, the drug may be the cause. The beers can influence lfts, also, so you should immediately contact your doctor for advice. He may recommend lowering the dose or switching to another statin.
