Brief Answer: Usual doses of crocin or Zanocin doesnt do that... Detailed Answer: Hello, Welcome to Healthcare Magic, She has slightly elevated levels of Conjugated bilirubin levels. Taking Zanocin or crocin in usual doses doesnt cause any problem. Better take her to a Physician and get done the Total bilirubin & direct bilirubin once again. Nothing to worry much because its a very mild elevated level,as it may be seen in viral infections and fevers also. If you have any further questions please let me know. Regards, Dr.VENKAT
