Dear sir
SGPT is liver enzyme which indicated liver activity. Elevated enzymes might be due to drugs, like atarvostatin, it increases liver enzymes.
Liver function tests should be analysed throughly analysed and dosage of statins should be reduced, consultation with your doctor is very essenstial as you cannot judge how to lower the statin dosage.
Rest of the medicines needs to be continued.
Thanks
