Cholestatic Jaundice Induced by Sequential Carbimazole and Propylthiouracil Treatment for Thyrotoxicosis-A Case Report
Journal Title: International Journal of Health Sciences and Research - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
Grave’s disease is the most common cause of hyperthyroidism. Antithyroid drugs are usually well tolerated in majority of patients but dangerous adverse effects can occur in 3-12% of treated patients. Cholestatic jaundice is a rare but potentially fatal complication secondary to the use of antithyroid drugs like carbimazole and propylthiouracil. We report a case of 46 year old male patient who developed cholestatic jaundice following sequential administration of carbimazole and propylthiouracil treatment for thyrotoxicosis.
