We present four cases of hepatitis with clinical features indicating a direct link with Droxicam. In all the cases, the presentation was that of acute hepatitis with subsequent resolution, whereas one patient developed autoimmune chronic active hepatitis. A full evaluation including ultrasound, liver biopsy, and serologic markers supported the diagnosis. Due to the fact that the "Dirección General de Farmacia y Productos Sanitarios" has approved the postponement of dispensation of products with Droxicam from February 25, 1995, this drug should not be considered anymore in the future as a potential cause of liver injury (acute or chronic hepatitis).

D000894 Anti-Inflammatory Agents, Non-Steroidal Anti-inflammatory agents that are non-steroidal in nature. In addition to anti-inflammatory actions, they have analgesic, antipyretic, and platelet-inhibitory actions. They act by blocking the synthesis of prostaglandins by inhibiting cyclooxygenase, which converts arachidonic acid to cyclic endoperoxides, precursors of prostaglandins. Inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis accounts for their analgesic, antipyretic, and platelet-inhibitory actions; other mechanisms may contribute to their anti-inflammatory effects.
