Hi, Need your advice, my Feb 15 medical report shown that SGPT/ALT: 54 U/L, SGOT/AST: 30 U/L and Gamma GT: 33 U/L and Total Cholesterol: 222 mg/dl, HDL Cholesterol: 44 mg/dl, LDL Cholesterol: 156 mg/dl and Cholesterol/HDL ratio: 5.0 % which Oct 14 report SGPT/ALT: 48 U/L, SGOT/AST: 30 U/L and Gamma GT: 33 U/L and Total Cholesterol: 227 mg/dl, HDL Cholesterol: 47 mg/dl, LDL Cholesterol: 159 mg/dl and Cholesterol/HDL ratio: 4.8 %, which Jan 14 report SGPT/ALT: 71 U/L, SGOT/AST: 39 U/L and Gamma GT: 31 U/L and Total Cholesterol: 186 mg/dl, HDL Cholesterol: 38 mg/dl, LDL Cholesterol: 130 mg/dl and Cholesterol/HDL ratio: 4.9 % Which my latest visit to my Gastro doctor ask me to take Heptral 200 mg (2 tablet in the morning), as he mentioned since that my liver condition is not improving (Around the same reading) which i have a new born baby and might not have time to exercise which my weight is averagely at 80 kg (No up and down) and difficult to lose weight, height: 172 so my doctor asked me to take Heptral 200 mg but i am worried that Heptral 200 mg is a liver supplement which taking long term will affect my health. is Heptral 200 mg safe to consume? Understand that Vit c and E can help to fight fatty liver as well right? May i know what is the recommended dosage for Vit c and E? i am age of 31 this year. I really hope to not take Heptral 200 mg as i dont know it will affect my daily life and is safe to consume which i thought i can try have good diet, exercise and Vit c and E can help with my fatty liver? I wish to get your professional advice. Thks

Hello,
I had gone through your reports and problem. Be assured that i will try my best to guide you properly.
According to your reports, i would say that this kind of reports of liver enzymes are seen most commonly in fatty liver. Heptral tablet mainly contains methionine and it improves liver function, so you can continue with that drug treatment, It will not have adverse effects to your health.
Coming to your lipid profile reports, it has improved alot in last one year. I would suggest you to follow few life style modifications like do regular walking for at least 20 minutes, avoid oily and junk processed food, take healthy diet including fruits and green leafy vegetables, do meditation daily, etc. Vitamin C and E are antioxidants and it helps to fight against any kind of inflammation. You can take vitamin C one tablet daily for a month.
Stick to this life style modifications and i would also suggest you to take statin group of drug for 3 months. As this is a prescription medicine, you can contact a local physician. Repeat the SGPT and lipid profile after 4 to 6 months and come back to me with your reports, so i can guide you further.
Hope this will help and feel free to ask any of your further queries. Wish you a healthy life ahead.
