Abstract
Alpha-methyldopa is one of the most widely used antihypertensive drugs during pregnancy. In spite of its known potential hepatotoxicity, there have been only a few reports describing hepatotoxicity with the use of this drug during pregnancy. We report here a new case of a 36-year-old pregnant hypertensive woman presented with acute hepatitis related to the use of alpha-methyldopa.
