Ursofalk is a remedy for gallstone and biliary cirrhosis. So I don't know why your doctor is prescribing it for your husband. You have to ask him why? If he said it is to lower ALT(SGOT), ask him for evidence. There is no medication to directly lower ALT and it is definitely not appropriate here.
Get a second doctor's opinion.

Per cap: Carnitine orotate 300 mg, pyridoxine HCl 50 mg, hepatic extract antitoxic fraction 25 mg, adenine HCl 5 mg, riboflavin 1 mg, cyanocobalamin 250 mcg

low carnitine levels correlated with hbsag loss on pegintf plus adefovir on a big study, so not sure carnitine are useful

hepatic extract antitoxic fraction 25 mg...so generic who knows what this is.some antioxidants may not be good because they can lower inflammation which is required for immune response.much better lower inflammation  by vit d3 which modulates immune system

riboflavin 1 mg, cyanocobalamin 250 mcg
these are vitamins, good but they dont make a difference on pegintf response

Hello.my husband went to his gastro for his quarterly Chek up.the doctor again gave him a prescription of ursofalk and godex ds in which according to the doctor that will lower his shoot. His sgpt is 190. But ursofalk almost killed my husband and I told that the doctor. He just lowered the dose 250 mg 3 x a day...I did not buy the meds coz I know it will put my husband at risk again...I want to tell the gastro what I learned from you and steff which I truly believe in your googled info.but I only respect his feelings, he might get offended. Until now my husband don't have a request for vitd25oh..and the doctor is not aware that vit d3 is good with pegasys
