Abstract
Two cases of feprazone-induced hepatic injury are reported. Both patients developed jaundice within one month of commencing therapy. Histological investigation showed a granulomatous reaction in one case and hepatitic changes in the other. The changes were similar to those seen as a complication of phenylbutazone therapy. When the administration of feprazone was discontinued both the clinical and biochemical changes were resolved.
