Hi. You have not given the name of the component of the medicine..... Griseofulvin (antifungal) are hepatotixic i.e might cause a dearrangement in the liver function. However i am not sure if it could be after such a long time. You might be having some other cause of the raised SGPT/ SGOT. Their levels are raised usually in case of damage to the liver cells. Please visit a doctor to find out the cause.
