  • Title: [Liver disease induced by psychiatric drugs].
    Author: Lamela CA.
    Journal: Vertex; 2005; 16(59):29-34. PubMed ID: 15785786.
    Abstract:
    The increase in the research, development and prescription of new psychotropic drugs used to treat mental illness, generated new and more frequent side effects. Drug-induced hepatotoxicity, in particular the idiosyncratic reactions, should be anticipated and diagnosed at an early stage due to their sudden and severe effects. We analyze the role of the liver in the drug metabolism, the different mechanisms of drug-induced hepatotoxicity of the main psychotropic drugs groups, and their clinical features.
