HelloIncreased SGPT may indicate liver injury. It may be due to many reasons like hepatitis, alcohol intake, altered lipid profile, medicines,autoimmune causes etc. It may be due to simvastatin in your husbands case. Simvastatin causes hepatotoxicity in some patients. Your husband may need dose adjustment of simvastatin. He may need few more investigations like routine hologram, random blood sugar, viral markers, ultrasound of abdomen. He may need to take tablet ursodeoxycholic acid 300 mg twice daily for three months. It helps in regeneration of liver cells. Godex DS will not help only. It contains multivitamins, minerals and amino acids. It is just a dietary supplement. Get well soon. Take Care Chat Doctor.
