摘要: Abstract This case report highlights atenolol induced episodes of chronic and acute hepatotoxicities in 2 elderly hypertensive patients. The 1st patient manifested liver dysfunction after 8 months 50 mg daily therapy the 2nd was revealed within 3 weeks 100 intake. There no evidence any other possible hereditary, traumatic, surgical, metabolic, infective, organic, or pathologic causes giving rise to these conditions. Possibilities drug interactions were carefully ruled out ‘probably’ (atenolol) induced, as depicted by CIOMS/RUCAM scale. Withdrawal offending resulted reversal diseased states. Routine function tests may be warranted patients on therapy.
