Doctor: Hi,Thanks for posting your query.There are umpteen number of causes for raised SGPT.Yes, certain antibiotics do increase the SGT level, but not all. You have not mentioned which antibiotic you are taking. So it is difficult to say whether it is actually causing your raised SGPT.Though viral hepatitis is one common cause of raised SGPT, there are other causes as well like autoimmune hepatitis and metabolic diseases. You need to get these tests also done.I hope that answers your question.Regards,
