ABSTRACT
La hepatotoxicidad farmacológica es un reto en la práctica clínica diaria. Los antibióticos son una de las causas más frecuentes. Sin embargo, el daño hepático por amoxicilina sola es poco frecuente. Presentamos el caso de un paciente varón de 87 años que presentó colestasis hepática con buena evolución clínica tras la ingesta de amoxicilina 500mg/8h por patología dental. Se hace una revisión de la literatura médica publicada sobre este tema (AU)
