Popis: Drug-induced hepatotoxicity is an important cause of hepatocellular injury. Hepatic necrosis may range from asymptomatic elevations in transaminases to fulminant hepatic failure and death. Alverine is an antispasmodic drug which is especially used in patients with irritable bowel syndrome. Only a few cases of alverine associated hepatotoxicity have been reported previously. We present the case of a patient with alverine induced hepatotoxicity and cholestasis, which has only seldomly been reported in the literature.
