According to the Summary of Product Characteristics, changes in liver function parameters and pancreatic enzymes are uncommon side effects of Salaza: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/112255/salaza-czopki/apteki?pvid=266974 These side effects are usually rare and occur mainly in susceptible people or when using high doses of the drug. If you have elevated liver enzymes, this may indicate potential liver damage. In this situation, it is important to consult a doctor for further evaluation and monitoring of liver function. If you are unable to get to your doctor, the GdziePoLek.pl service also allows you to obtain a teleconsultation with a doctor: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/telekonsultacja I encourage you to report an adverse reaction if it has not been done yet: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/jak-i-dlaczego-zglaszac-dzialania-niepozadane
