Abstract
Olanzapine is a second-generation antipsychotic used in bipolar mania and schizophrenia. We are reporting the case of a young female patient who developed elevated liver enzymes after olanzapine use. Patient's liver enzymes improved after the discontinuation of olanzapine making it a possible cause for reversible hepatotoxicity. We recommend physicians to check liver enzymes regularly if patient is on olanzapine.
