High liver levels (AST & ALT)

Could taking CoQ10 100mg and One a Day multivitamin (both taken once a day for the past month or so) cause the AST & ALT liver levels to be high? Already tested for hep (which i dont have) and dont drink and I have NEVER done drugs or smoked a cig I am slightly overweight but very active and healthy. I had a whole physical and everything else came out good except that.. Thanks

While acetominophen is an amazing drug for pain, it ***** for your liver. I myself have a liver condition, and I am supposed to take acetominophen only when I really, really need it. Extended use can cause bad levels.

How long and how much acetominophen did you take? This is a very long process before it starts to break down the liver enzymes enough to register in a blood test.

Cut back on the acetominophen and I think your levels will go down.

There have been some reports of elevated liver enzyme levels, rashes, nausea, abdominal pain, mild insomnia, dizziness, visual sensitivity, headache and fatigue due to CoQ10 supplements.

Hi, well do you take a lot of Tylenol (acetominophen) or staten drugs for cholesterol? Any other prescribed drugs may cause this. Otherwise, I don't know.
