We report a case of probable norethisterone-related liver injury, manifesting as a significant rise in liver transaminases in a 62-year-old woman. Upon discontinuation of norethisterone, liver transaminases decreased to normal level within two weeks. Knowledge of rare adverse effects of drugs such as norethisterone is necessary for rapid identification and management, especially in patients with risk factors such as non-alcoholic liver disease and obesity.
