title: [Toxic hepatoses due to Gravistat].
abstract: With the help of 5 cases with toxic hepatosis by administration of Gravistat the problems concerning ovulation inhibitor and toxic hepatosis were explained. The clinical, paraclinical and histological findings may be pronounced differently. Anamnestically in prescribing ovulation inhibitors particularly a jaundice during pregnancy or a pronounced pruritus in the 3rd trimester of the pregnancy must be taken into consideration. Toxic liver damage may appear not only when the ovulation inhibitor is given the first time, but also after changing it. For this reasons idiopathic jaundice during pregnancy and condition after toxic hepatosis by ovulation inhibitor in every case must be regarded as contraindications for the application of oral contraceptives. In order to establish subclinical courses a control of transaminases in the first three cycles of using the remedies is to be demanded.
