Hi,
Now, the SGPT is normal. So, you should be able to take the anti-TB drugs which were stopped due to liver toxicity. However, it should be started at a lower dose and gradually escalated. Check with you treating doctor for more details.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
