Hello

Increased SGPT indicate liver injury.It may be due to many reasons like hepatitis,alcohol intake,altered lipid profile,medicines,auto immune causes etc.
It may be due to alcohol intake in your case.

SGOT is non specific and it increases in many conditions.

You may need few more investigations like lipid profile,viral markers and ultrasound of abdomen.

I suggest tablet ursodeoxycholic acid 300 mg twice daily for three months to my patients.It helps in regeneration of liver cells.

You should avoid alcohol completely.It is must for your recovery.

Levolin S contains Levosalbutamol and it is usually prescribed as bronchodilator.

Get well soon.
Take Care
