Background: Fenoverine is a spasmolytic drug that has been used to treat abdominal pain. Although sporadic case reports or case series of rhabdomyolysis associated with fenoverine have been published, there are no studies evaluating the incidence, risk factors, and clinical outcomes of rhabdomyolysis associated with fenoverine prescription.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 22 patients admitted with rhabdomyolysis associated with fenoverine from January 1999 to December 2014, while excluding other well-known risk factors of rhabdomyolysis.
