Am taking phendimetrazine and have elevated SGOT & SGPT

by carolynlucille, Feb 13, 2007 12:00AM
I have been taking Phendimetrazine 157 mg per day in 3 divided doses.  Today I got a lab test back with an SGOT of 116 and an SGPT of 186 and am wondering if there is any correlation.  My SGOT before this medication was 25 and SGPT was 28.  I've been on the med since 11/13/06.  Zetia 10 mg per day is the only other prescription I take.  I had a similar elevation years ago when on lipitor.  I've recently lost 30 pounds, on a high protein diet and I'm wondering which of these factors is the most reasonable culprit in this elevation of liver enzymes.
