Core Tip

Core Tip: The antidepressant escitalopram is widely prescribed for the treatment of depression. The article consists of a unique clinical case, a review of the literature and a pharmacovigilance analysis. This is the first clinical case of escitalopram as the only possible drug causing hepatitis and cholestasis. This is also the first pharmacovigilance analysis conducted to qualify and quantify the risk of hepatitis and cholestasis when using escitalopram.
