Sulindac (Clinoril) hepatitis

Gastroenterology. 1981 Mar;80(3):585-6.

Abstract

A patient with Sulindac-induced hepatitis is presented. Sulindac was confirmed as the cause of the patient's liver disease when hepatic dysfunction abruptly recurred after an inadvertent reexposure to Sulindac and quickly resolved when the drug was withdrawn. The prompt reappearance of fever, chills, pruritus, rash, tender hepatomegaly, and abnormal liver tests after only two doses of Sulindac suggested a hypersensitivity reaction.
