Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for writing in
It is sad your mother have developed some side effects commonly known with these type of medications
I would like to have the liver function test and an abdominal ultrasound to give a better interpretation
But primarily it appears that she is having side effect of the medicines and I would suggest you stop them and discuss with your doctor for safer alternatives
Await your revert

Brief Answer:
Altered Liver Function
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for the followup
I have gone through the reports
They are showing altered liver function and I would prefer waiting with fat free diet and rest
Add a hepato-protective like Hepatogard after talking to your doctor
It might take some time for the LFT to return to normal
Hope this helps
Do write back in case of Concern
