Hi thanks for asking question.
Noted you are using lipitor that is atorvastatin tablet...
You are taking correct drug for hyper cholesterol.
Now with this drug your sgpt might raised.
But just now lipid has to be controlled .so use atorvastatin...
Regular follow up done for liver enzymes profile...
Meanwhile take low fat diet with more fruits ....
Avoid alcohol strictly. .
If jaundice occurs immediately consult doc...
Take care.
