Abstract:
Drug-induced liver injury is a well-known adverse event to numerous medications with clinical presentations from asymptomatic liver enzyme elevation to liver failure. However, liver injury after administration with metoprolol is not common, and only few case reports have been published. This is a case report of an 80-year-old woman with liver injury with cholestatic pattern and jaundice after two months of treatment with Metoprololsuccinat. With no evidence of other disease, liver function normalized in the following months after discontinuation of Metoprololsuccinat.
