  • Title: [Droxicam-induced toxic hepatitis].
    Author: Berenguer M, Pérez-Aguilar F, Gisbert C, Ferreres LA, Vera-Sempere FJ, Berenguer J.
    Journal: Rev Esp Enferm Dig; 1996 Jan; 88(1):49-52. PubMed ID: 8616003.
    Abstract:
    We present four cases of hepatitis with clinical features indicating a direct link with Droxicam. In all the cases, the presentation was that of acute hepatitis with subsequent resolution, whereas one patient developed autoimmune chronic active hepatitis. A full evaluation including ultrasound, liver biopsy, and serologic markers supported the diagnosis. Due to the fact that the "Dirección General de Farmacia y Productos Sanitarios" has approved the postponement of dispensation of products with Droxicam from February 25, 1995, this drug should not be considered anymore in the future as a potential cause of liver injury (acute or chronic hepatitis).
