Atoder (atorvastatin) is used to reduce LDL. Safe at 27 if liver function is monitored. History of jaundice warrants caution and regular LFTs.

Hi, I am going for GAMCA medicals and, to be sure, I did a blood test locally. The results show my SGPT is 100. Can anyone with experience of GAMCA let me know if this slight increase will be acceptable for clearance?
