Over the last fifty years, the United States Food and Drug Administration has withdrawn several drugs from the market for causing severe liver injury. Notably in 1997 to 1998, bromfenac and troglitazone were withdrawn from the market for causing severe hepatocellular injury. Drug induced liver injury remains the most frequent single cause of drug withdrawals from the market today.[1]
