Tolazamide-induced cholestasis.
The sulfonylurea hypoglycemic agent tolazamide is thought to be a rare cause of jaundice and to exhibit no hepatic cross-sensitivity with other sulfonylurea compounds. We have described a patient who had self-limited cholestatic jaundice after treatment with chlorpropamide. Subsequent treatment with tolazamide resulted in recurrence of jaundice, which disappeared after cessation of treatment. Tolazamide may exhibit hepatic cross-sensitivity with chlorpropamide.[1]References
