Hi there,
Thanks for using HCM.
Increased liver panel numbers indicate liver cell damage.
If the abnormal liver panel numbers are due to alcohol intake, then they will return to baseline by stopping alcohol itself.
The medications hepamerz and Liv 52 are liver supportive medications.
Since you have quit drinking alcohol, the enzymes have returned to baseline levels which means the damaged liver cells have been repaired. So there is no need to take liver supportive medications as these liver cells are absolutely fine now.
You can stop those medications.
And you should not drink alcohol also.
