Drug-induced Hepatitis Treatments

Treatment

There is no medication to treat most types of toxic hepatitis. If a person is diagnosed with this condition, the chemical or drug should be discontinued immediately and avoided in the future. If symptoms are severe, the patient should rest. Intravenous fluid is recommended for people who experience extreme nausea and vomiting.

Symptoms usually go away within a few days or weeks. However, in severe cases, or if the condition was left untreated, toxic hepatitis can lead to irreversible liver failure, which is fatal in the absence of a liver transplant .
