Hi and welcome to HCM.
These medicines can effect liver function and it may raise liver functional tests. however, if there is indications for such drugs then you should use it but also check your liver tests every 3-6 months to see is there some significant side effect. if yes, you should switch to another drugs.
Thanks for the query. Wish you good health. Regards
