Drug induced liver injury (DILI) is uncommon and severe forms are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Female sex hormones (estrogens and progestogens) related DILI generally occur with estrogen component. Progesterone component related DILI are infrequently reported.

All of these patients took Norethisterone for prolonged periods and improved completely after withdrawal of drug.
