I've been taking Cirrosam 400 mg and Ursocol 300 mg once a day for the past three days, and my SGPT and SGOT levels are close to 150. I'm wondering if it's okay to drink alcohol while on these meds or if that could be harmful?

-It's not safe to consume alcohol while taking Cirrosam and Ursocol, as both medications are used to support liver function, and alcohol can further strain the liver. It's best to avoid alcohol during this treatment to prevent potential liver damage. Alwa
