An 86-year-old man experienced a rash approximately 2 weeks after starting ticlopidine therapy, necessitating discontinuation of the drug. About 1 month later, despite discontinuation, he developed jaundice and liver test abnormalities. These resolved gradually over the next few months. Based on case reports and the drug's pharmacokinetic profile, a high index of suspicion for ticlopidine-induced jaundice is prudent in patients with recent exposure to the agent who have evidence of liver damage.
