My Doctor Wants Me Stop Taking Claravis Today, After Being on It for 4 Months. Is my Total Amount High Enough?

I have been on claravis for 4 months, and my doctor told me stop taking it today because my liver enzymes are elevated. I also lift weights 5 out of 7 days on the week . I don't drink but I do take pre workout supplements (which contain creatine which messes with the liver, however its only a gram or so). Dosing: 40 x1 month1, 40x2 month2, 40x2 month3, 40x2 month 4 Height: 5,8 Weight: 155 Did I reach a high enough cumulative dose?
