Side Effects Of Folitrax Tablets

I am using folitrax 20mg for soriatic artherities. My blood report on 22.05.12 shows the following results. SGOT / A S T 83 IU/L ; SGPT/ A L T 92 IU/L . Is the results indicated above ar due to use of above medicine. ## Of course definitely yes sir. its due to the over functioning of liver to detoxify and remove the folitrax content from your blood. please drink more and more water and completely stop or reduce the intake of coffee/tea and alcohol? just stop it. start green tea and protects your liver. sgot & SGPT are the characteristic enzymes in liver whose measure reflects the state of liver.
