Abstract

Hepatitis C is a common chronic infection. Nonsteroidal anti- inflammatory drugs are commonly ingested both over-the-counter and by prescription. This case report describes three cases where ibuprofen use leads to a marked rise in hepatic transaminases with one case repeating on rechallenge. These eases support the recommendation of acetaminophen over nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug use in patients with chronic hepatitis C.
