A hepatotoxin is a toxic chemical that damages the liver. The effects of hepatotoxins may be side effects of medicines and depend on the amount and speed of toxin distribution in the body, but also the health of the affected person.
Hepatotoxins can cause liver damage in situations of an overdose in most cases, but, depending on the health of the liver, they are able to induce similar liver injuries in lower doses.
