Abstract:
Hepatotoxicity is damage caused by exposure to a drug or non-
pharmacological agents. Risk factors include: individual intolerance, age,
gender, alcohol consumption, smoking, concomitant use of other drugs, liver
disease, genetic and environmental factors. [1–3] Although most lipophilic
drugs can cause hepatotoxicity , [4] antibiotics, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory
drugs (NSAIDs), and anticonvulsants are the pharmacological groups that are
the most common causes. [1, 5-9]. Among the drugs administered
intravenously, antibiotics and neoplasia drugs are mostly associated with liver
toxicity
