Brief Answer:
Liv-52 unlikely to help.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. Please be informed that although many doctors prescribe Liv-52, it is not established whether it actually works. I do not think it justified to use this medicine. The GGT and ALP will gradually subside on its own irrespective of the use of this medicine.

Although the bilirubin level is slightly elevated, your father needs rest and not medications for the same.

Let me know if I could help further.

Regards
