PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
Halothane can induce liver damage. Minor changes in serum
amino-transferase activity have
been reported to occur in up to 30% of patients. The incidence of
severe liver damage
(jaundice, which may lead to hepatic failure as a consequence of
massive hepatic cell necrosis)
is much rarer but cases requiring liver transplants and fatalities
have been reported. The risk of
developing hepatic failure appears to be greatly increased by repeated
exposure to halothane.
Although short intervals of time between exposures are likely to
increase the risk of
hepatotoxicity, even long intervals between exposure may not reduce
the risks, since some
patients have developed severe reactions to halothane given many years
after the previous
exposure.
_Other _
risk factors for hepatotoxicity include female gender, obesity, middle
age and
a history of drug allergy. On present available information, the
following precautions should be
taken:
1.
A careful anaesthetic history is to be taken from patients due to
undergo anaesthesia in
order to determine whether exposure to halothane took place and the
nature of any adverse
reac
