<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.I am a woman 57 years old started taking medicine lescol xl 80 to lower my cholesterol level but after 4 months of taking it the test showed an elevation in sgpt it is 37 normal level should me less than 31 n.b.: before taking this medicine my sgpt was normal is this dangerous what can I do should i stop the medicine  <response>: Hi Nadia;welcome to Chat Doctor Your level of SGPT is mild high YES you have correctly noted that it is because of cholesterol medicine. These medicines do produce changes in liver function so the SGPT liver profile needs to be monitored. The only thing I would suggest is to consult your doctor he may advise you to stop the medicine or may change it as you may require medicine for your cholesterol take care thanks
