Hi, both decrease in platelet count and increase in sgpt is due to dengue and not related to ursodeoxycolic acid.
I would like to know what is total and direct bilirubin levels as if bilirubin levels are normal then there is no need to take ursodeoxycolic acid tablets.
Revert back with all blood reports.
Take care.
