Hepatic failure with flutamide

Abstract
A 41-year-old woman, who was on flutamide for hair loss for 3 months, presented with deep jaundice. She developed hepatic encephalopathy but gradually recovered after discontinuing flutamide. Flutamide can cause fatal toxic liver injury and hence should be used with close monitoring of liver profile.
