MenoFit is a widely available over-the-counter synbiotic supplement, which is marketed for use in relieving menopausal symptoms. So far, there is no published data on liver injury because of its use. We present the first reported case of MenoFit-induced liver injury in a patient who presented with 1 week of jaundice and abnormal liver biochemical tests in the absence of other risk factors and negative comprehensive workup for known etiologies of liver disease.
