| pubmed-article:3046986 | pubmed:abstractText | We report the case of a patient who developed jaundice after receiving cyproheptadine for 29 days. Complete recovery occurred within 3 months after cyproheptadine withdrawal. Analysis of 3 previously reported cases and this observation shows that cyproheptadine-induced hepatitis is uncommon. Hepatitis occurs within the first month of treatment and is of the cytolytic or mixed-pattern type. Jaundice is constant. Most often, recovery occurs quickly after the discontinuation of cyproheptadine. However, acute hepatitis can be followed by prolonged anicteric cholestasis. | lld:pubmed |
