Does this medication cause liver problems?

I am currently taking Microgestin Fe 1.5/30 Oral.  I have been taking this med for a long time, I would say maybe close to 10 years.  I was wondering if this med causes any kind of liver problems if taken for long periods.  I am currently having problems with my AST and ALT enzymes being elevated.  My doc wants to do a liver biopsy to find out what exactly is going on with it.  I am just trying to do a process of elimination with my meds that I am on.  I also take Effexor XR, Geodon, Hydroxyzine, Clonazepam, Zyrtec-D, Fibercon tablets, HCTZ (blood pressure med) and a couple different vitamins.  I didn't have any problems with my liver in 2005 and the enzymes were not checked again until a few months ago.  I am just concerned and thinking it may be one of these meds doing it.  If someone could let me know, I would greatly appreciate it.  Thanks.
