Purpose:
Medicines derived from natural sources have been used for thousands of years throughout the world. Because natural compounds are thought to have less toxic effects and fewer side effects, these products are becoming more popular by the day.
Case Report:
In this case report, we presented a case of acute kidney injury, rhabdomyolysis, and hepatotoxicity after ingestion of black seed oil. Although black seed oil is widely used around the world, there is currently limited knowledge on its adverse effects.
Conclusion:
It is important to keep in mind that rhabdomyolysis, acute renal damage, and hepatotoxicity might occur following the use of black seed oil. Black seed oil ingestion should be considered when making a differential diagnosis for these conditions in patients suspected of taking herbal products.
