Drug-induced hepatitis?


Your well-being is my top priority.
Drug-induced hepatitis is infectious depending on the cause, caused by viral infection is infectious, caused by drug allergy or toxic reaction is not infectious. Hepatitis is inflammation of the liver, usually caused by viruses, drugs, alcohol and other reasons. Drug-induced hepatitis refers to liver damage caused by the use of certain drugs, so drug-induced hepatitis is infectious? Whether drug-induced hepatitis is contagious depends on the cause. If it is caused by an allergic or toxic reaction to a drug, it is usually not contagious. Because it is not caused by a viral infection, it is not infectious. If it is caused by a drug, such as hepatitis A or hepatitis E, it is infectious. Because these hepatitis is caused by viral infection, it can be transmitted through the faecal-oral route. It should be noted that even if drug-induced hepatitis is not infectious, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly, stop using suspected drugs, and carry out liver protection treatment. At the same time, doctors will take appropriate treatment measures according to the cause and severity of the disease. In short, if you are taking drugs during the symptoms of hepatitis, such as fatigue, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, jaundice, etc., you should seek medical attention in time to clarify the cause and take appropriate treatment measures.
