The liver is the most important metabolizing organ of our body. There are a myriad of substances potentially acting hepatotoxically

(halotan, troglitazone, hormonal contraceptives etc.). This article focuses on the risk of hepatotoxicity in relation with the use of paracetamol

and non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs.

Keywords: liver toxicity, non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs, NSAIDs, paracetamol, analgesics
