Özet

Background and Aims: Citalopram is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor with a high potency which is occasionally prescribed and used to treat major depression associated with mood disorders as a first-line drug. According to the results of previous studies, evidence of hepatotoxicity related to citalopram treatment were limited and conflicting. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the hepatotoxicity potential of sub-chronic citalopram administration.
