A woman, who consumed the recommended daily doses of Relaxane® and Hova® over several months was found to have elevated liver enzymes. A liver biopsy showed histologic changes consistent with primary biliary cirrhosis. After stopping treatment with Relaxane® and Hova® we observed a decline of the increased liver enzymes to normal levels two months later. A second biopsy of the liver three months later showed a clear decline of the initial histologic changes.
