Core Tip |
Glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate are common over-the-counter medications available in North America and other countries in the treatment of osteoarthritis. We report a unique case of drug-induced cholestatic injury caused by this combination tablet. The etiology of this patient’s new jaundice went undiagnosed despite extensive investigations over three months. Only after careful questioning of his medication history and review of his liver biopsy was the correct diagnosis obtained. This case adds to the increasing reports of hepatoxicity related to this supplement. Furthermore, it highlights the importance of a complete medication history, especially over-the-counter medications, in the assessment of cholestatic jaundice. |
