Ticlopidine hydrochloride (Ticlid) has been increasingly used as an antiplatelet agent. Some studies showed that it has higher efficacy in reducing stroke recurrence when compared to conventional aspirin. Side effects like gastrointestinal disturbances and blood dyscrasias are common but ticlopidine-induced cholestatic jaundice has been reported only rarely. We present a case report on a patient who has ticlopidine-induced cholestatic jaundice.
