I'm dealing with an alcohol addiction and my liver function is acting up. I'm currently taking Udiliv 150, but sometimes I still end up drinking at night because of the cravings. I'm really concerned if taking Udiliv is safe when I'm also consuming alcohol. What should I do?

Udiliv 150 contains Ursodeoxycholic acid, which is commonly used to improve liver function. However, it is not recommended to consume alcohol while taking Udiliv as alcohol can further damage the liver and reduce the effectiveness of the medication. It is important to avoid alcohol completely to allow Udiliv to work effectively in improving your liver function.

I'm worried because my SGPT levels are high and I've been taking medication like Cirrosam 400, Obeticholic acid, Ursocol 300, and Evion for the past two months. The only one that seems to help is the Obeticholic acid. Interestingly, my lipid profile is normal and I've tested negative for Hepatitis B and C. My blood sugar levels are also within the normal range. On top of this, I've been dealing with hyperuricemia. Can you tell me how long it might take for my SGPT levels to get back to normal?
