    Elevated Liver Enzymes
    I have been using 2 Rhumatols a day for past 4 months. My liver enzymes have gone up. Any connection, should I reduce Rhumatol to 1 a day?

    This is something that you need to discuss with you personal physician. It is possible that your LFTs are out of whack because of this. I did not find that it was FDA approved so, really there is no telling EXACTLY what you are taking.

    Please discuss the use of this product with your physician.

    Any connection? Yes, possibly so. More than a 50% chance. Where did you get the Rhumatol? Does your doctor know you are taking it?

    Echoing what J_9 stated, check with your doctor, ASAP. While the liver can regenerate itself, it does need medical attention.

    If the problem only occurred after beginning this then more than common sense tells us that this is the problem. To help the liver you should be talking milk thistle to help it regenerate and heal itself but by all means stop talking that which you feel is causing the problem.
