Knowing how to identify the symptoms of drug hepatitis is important in order to start treatment early and thus decrease inflammation of the liver. Symptoms of drug-induced hepatitis:
- Vomiting;
- Numbness;
- Urine dark as the color of coca cola;
- Feces of light color like clay or putty;
- Yellowish eyes and skin (jaundice);
- Abdominal pain;

Generally these symptoms are only noticed when the liver intoxication is very large.
One of the major causes of drug hepatitis is the inadequate taking of medicines, so it is important to only take the medicines prescribed by the doctor to avoid situations like this.
Treatment for drug-induced hepatitis
The treatment for drug hepatitis consists of a detoxification of the liver that can be achieved by drinking plenty of water and a light diet, free of alcoholic beverages. But it is critical to stop taking any medicine to speed up the liver recovery process.
