Which Substances are Commonly Associated with Hepatotoxicity?
Several substances are well-known for their hepatotoxic potential. Acetaminophen overdose is a leading cause of acute liver failure in many countries. Other common hepatotoxic drugs include certain antibiotics, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and anticonvulsants. Herbal supplements like kava and green tea extract have also been implicated in liver damage. Industrial chemicals such as carbon tetrachloride and environmental toxins like aflatoxins pose additional risks.
