renal failure
We report the occurrence of renal failure due to cholesterol crystal embolization following thrombolytic therapy with intravenous recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activator ( t-PA ) .
epinephrine
severe hypertension
We report the specifics of 12 cases of severe hypertension after the intraoperative use of topical phenylephrine , submucosal epinephrine , or both .
vitamin D
severe hypercalcemia

fulminant hepatic failure
We report two cases of fulminant hepatic failure in HIV-1-infected patients treated with didanosine ( ddI ) .
captopril
neutropenia
We report two cases of neutropenia following captopril use in cardiac patients with trisomy 21 .
tamoxifen
acute myeloid leukaemia
We report two cases that developed acute myeloid leukaemia ( AML ) during tamoxifen therapy for breast cancer .
desipramine
anhedonic ejaculation
We report two patients with anhedonic ejaculation ( ejaculation without orgasm ) associated with initiation of treatment with desipramine .
d-penicillamine
acute generalized dystonia
We reported 3 patients who developed acute generalized dystonia and akinetic rigid syndrome following an initial therapy with d-penicillamine 125-500 mg daily .
benzarone
hepatotoxicity
We stress the potential of benzarone to cause hepatotoxicity , which usually resembles severe chronic active hepatitis .
nicotinic acid
liver disease
We suggest that nicotinic acid was the cause of his liver disease , that this case is of particular note because of the rather short period of therapy before the onset of liver injury and the severity of the hepatic failure , and that the probable increased use of nicotinic acid for serum cholesterol control makes it especially important for physicians and their patients to be alert to the signs of hepatotoxicity .
nefazodone
inhibits metabolism of tacrolimus
We suspect that nefazodone inhibits metabolism of tacrolimus tacrolimus .
AZ
destroyed the gastric mucosal barrier
We thus concluded that an excessive dose of AZ had probably destroyed the gastric mucosal barrier or thrombocytopenia due to bone marrow disorder and thus eventually led to the development of hemorrhagic gastritis .
ACTH
hyperkalemia
We wish to call for cautious approach at time of cessation of prolonged ACTH therapy because of possible unexpected and only partially understood hazardous side effects such as hyperkalemia .
tamoxifen
