10 Mrs. Dilworth Develops Jaundice

A member of Mrs. Dilworth’s physician team visits her to let her know that they are going to discontinue the ondansetron. At the time of this visit he notices that she seems a bit jaundiced (the whites of her eyes are slightly yellow). He begins investigating what might be causing the mild jaundice.

An adverse reaction report in Clinical Pharmacology shows that all of Mrs. Dilworth’s meds except ondansetron can be associated with jaundice. However, Mrs. Dilworth’s liver tests and jaundice have actually decreased by the next day. Mrs. Dilworth’s resident asks if its possible that the discontinued ondansetron might have been causing the slight jaundice.  What source is most likely to contain information not included in other drug information resources.
