Horsmans, Yves MD. De Clercq, Michel MD. Sempoux, Christine MD. Venlaxafine-Associated Hepatitis. Annals of Internal Medicine. 130(11):944, June 1, 1999:
"We believe that there was a causal association between venlafaxine and hepatitis because the histologic findings supported drug-related hepatotoxicity, other causes of hepatitis were excluded, discontinuation of venlafaxine therapy led to recovery, and venlafaxine can increase liver aminotransferase levels. Liver function test results should therefore be regularly monitored in patients receiving venlafaxine..."
