Antithyroid drugs, methimazole, and propylthiouracil have been reported to cause hepatotoxicity. We report the case of a patient with methimazole induced liver injury who presented within a few weeks of commencement of the drug. She presented with a cholestatic picture and responded well to discontinuation of the drug and administration of steroids.
