Terbinafine-induced liver injury

Natl Med J India. 2017 Nov-Dec;30(6):321-323. doi: 10.4103/0970-258X.239071.

Abstract

Terbinafine is a common antifungal agent with few reports of liver injury. We present a 64-year-old man who developed terbinafine-induced liver injury. Drug-induced liver injury is an important cause of morbidity and an early diagnosis may prevent progression to severe and chronic forms of liver injury including fulminant hepatic failure.
