Drug-induced cholestasis

Drugs that can cause cholestatic jaundice:
• Chlorpromazine
• Antibiotics (flucloxacillin, fusidic acid, co-amoxiclav, nitrofurantoin)
• Prochlorperazine
• Sulfonylureas
• Anabolic steroids
• Gold
• Oral contraceptives

If you're gonna get jaundice, get it from eating CAP SAGO!

Learning prompted by one of my patients developing jaundice post-op. LFT showed cholestatic picture too! Remitted spontaneously after stopping IV Augmentin (after checking OHCM!).
