Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.

Generally thyroxin does not cause liver damage and rise in SGOT and SGPT level in therapeutic dosage. But thyroxin may produce hyperthyroidism and it cause elevated liver enzymes.

So consult your doctor and set the dosage of thyroxin accordingly.

Hope I have answered your question. If you have any doubts then feel free to ask me. I will be happy to answer.
Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
