Hi and welcome to HCM.
These medicines would help if there is biliary tract obstruction but there can be some other cause of LFT elevation such as viral or alcoholic hepatitis or autoimmune disease. YOu should check viral markers and do liver biopsy or CT scan. Pancreas can be affected by biliary stones but it wouldnt be cause of LFT elevation.
IThe most common liver disorders is fatty liver which can be found in healthy people, but usually is resulting from elevated blood lipids, overweight and elevated blood sugar. YOu should treat it by changing dietary and lifestyle habits. Do exercise, avoid alcohol, smoking, fats, fast food and carbonated drinks. Eat more fruit and vegetables, boiled meat and follow some of hepatoprotective diets. Findings usually improves on such measures.
Wish you good health.
