Ornidazole is generally well tolerated antibiotic which is synthetic derivative of nitroimidazole. Serious side effects are very rarely encountered. The most common side effects are metallic taste, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhea. Even though it has been presented that ornidazole has side effects (for example neurotoxicity, glossitis and stomatitis). Hepatotoxicity related to this drug has been rarely reported. Before, this phenomenon was described with the three cases by Tabak, et al. Herein, we presented a case of recurrent prolonged hepatotoxicity associated with ornidazole.
