Hepatotoxicity induced by a second-generation combined oral contraceptive: case report and review of the literature.

Second-generation combined oral contraceptives (COCs) are widely used and are believed to be safe for birth control and in the treatment of gynaecological diseases. No randomised controlled study has shown elevations in alanine transaminase (ALT) levels in relation to the use of a second-generation COC. We report a case of drug-induced liver injury (DILI) in a young, moderately obese woman, due to the use of a second-generation COC containing 30 µg ethinylestradiol and 150 µg levonorgestrel.
