Abstract
Pemoline, a central nervous system stimulant, has been used extensively in Great Britain and Europe for a variety of conditions including memory failure and depression. In the 10 years that the drug has been used no report of hepatotoxicity has appeared. A prospective study of efficacy and safety of pemoline was started in the United States approximately 3 years ago. This report describes two patients who developed reversible liver abnormalities while receiving pemoline during the study and following rechallenge with the drug.Keywords
