South Med J. 1987 Sep;80(9):1173-5. doi: 10.1097/00007611-198708090-00023.

Abstract

We have described a patient with captopril-induced cholestatic jaundice. Captopril was confirmed as the causative agent, because jaundice occurred after administration of captopril and resolved quickly after administration was stopped.
