Drugs causing cholestatic jaundice are : a) Estrogen b) Cyclosporine c) INH d) Phenothiazine e) Ethambutol
First, I need to recall what cholestatic jaundice is. It's a type of jaundice where the bilirubin isn't being excreted properly from the liver into the bile ducts. So the drugs in question would interfere with bile flow.
Estrogen: I remember that estrogen can cause cholestasis, especially in women. There's something about pregnancy-related cholestasis too. So Estrogen (option a) is likely correct.
Cyclosporine: This is an immunosuppressant. I think it can cause hepatotoxicity, but is it cholestatic? Maybe more about mixed patterns. Need to check.
INH (Isoniazid): This is an anti-tubercular drug. Its main side effect is hepatotoxicity, but usually it's more about direct liver cell damage rather than cholestasis. So maybe not cholestatic.
Phenothiazine: These are antipsychotics. I recall that phenothiazines can cause cholestatic jaundice. Chlorpromazine, for example. So option d is correct.
Ethambutol: Another anti-TB drug. Its main side effect is optic neuritis. Not typically cholestatic. So option e is out.
So the correct answers would be a and d. Wait, but the options are a) Estrogen, d) Phenothiazine. The question is asking which of the drugs cause cholestatic jaundice. The options are a, b, c, d, e. The answer options are A, B, C, D. The user's correct answer is not given yet, but according to the initial data, the user's answer is A, B, C, D (but the correct answer is a and d). Wait, the user's correct answer is missing here. Wait, the user provided the question and the correct answer as A, B, C, D but the actual correct answer is a and d. Wait, no, the user's input says "Correct Answer: . " but didn't fill it. So maybe the correct answer is A and D. Let me confirm.
Estrogen (a) definitely causes cholestatic jaundice. Cyclosporine (b) can cause hepatotoxicity but more often mixed. INH (c) is hepatotoxic but usually not cholestatic. Phenothiazine (d) is correct. Ethambutol (e) is not. So the correct options are a and d. Therefore, the answer should be A and D. However, the options given in the question are a, b, c, d, e, and the answer options are A, B, C, D. Wait, the user's options are labeled a to e, but the answer options are labeled A to D. Wait, the question lists options a to e, but the answer choices are A to D. That's confusing. Wait, perhaps the user made a typo. Let me check again.
The question says: Drugs causing cholestatic jaundice are: a) Estrogen b)
