Disulfiram‐Induced Hepatotoxicity in a Patient With Alcohol Use Disorder: A Case Report
ABSTRACT Disulfiram can cause severe and potentially fatal hepatotoxicity, particularly in patients with preexisting liver disease. In Bhutan, where alcohol‐related liver disease represents a major public health burden and pharmacological options for relapse prevention remain limited, careful patient selection, hepatic assessment, and early monitoring are essential prior to initiating disulfiram therapy.
