Abstract

Carbamazepine is widely used in the treatment of epilepsy and various neuralgias. Its most common side-effects are leukopenia and skin rash. Hepatic side-effects are rare, but serious and occasionally even fatal. A 72-year-old woman with toxic hepatitis due to carbamazepine is presented. We recommend monitoring liver function tests in every patient receiving this drug.
