Abstract
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs deare widely used worldwide for analgesic, antipyretic and anti-inflammatory purposes. Indomethacin is a potent nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug and can cause severe liver damage. Few cases of idiosyncratic toxic hepatitis have been reported. Here, we present a case of indomethacin-induced toxic hepatitis that improved with methylprednisolone treatment.
