Flavocoxid is a medical food that is available with prescription for dietary management of osteoarthritis. It is a proprietary blend of two flavonoids, baicalin and catechins which are derived from botanicals Scutellaria baicalensis and Acacia catechu respectively. To describe characteristics of patients with acute liver injury suspected due to flavocoxid. Case series Prospective Study of the Drug Induced Liver Injury Network (DILIN) initiated at multiple academic medical centers in 2004. 4 patients with liver injury suspected due to flavocoxid. Clinical characteristics, liver biochemistries, histology, and outcomes. Among 877 patients enrolled in the DILIN Prospective Study, 4 were attributed to flavocoxid. All 4 were women with a mean age of 61 years. The time to onset averaged 11.2 weeks (range 5–16) after initiating therapy with flavocoxid. Liver injury was characterized by marked elevations in alanine aminotransferase (mean peak ALT 1268 U/L, range 741 to 1540 U/L), with moderate elevations in alkaline phosphatase (mean peak 510 U/L, range 286 to 770 U/L) and serum bilirubin (mean peak 9.4 mg/dL, range 2.0 to 20.8 mg/dL). Liver biochemistries fell into the normal range within 3 to 12 weeks of stopping. The causality was adjudicated as highly likely in three and as possible in one patient. All recovered uneventfully with no evidence acute liver failure or chronic liver injury. The frequency or mechanism of liver injury caused by flavocoxid cannot be assessed. Flavocoxid can cause significant liver injury which appears to resolve within weeks after its cessation.
