Clometacin, an analogue of indometacin, was introduced on the market in 1971. Subsequently several cases of severe - in some cases fatal - hepatitis were reported, which led in 1987 to the withdrawal of a high-dosage tablet formulation, while the indications for a lower dosage tablet were restricted and duration of the treatment was limited. Eventually all tablet formulations were removed from the market. Clometacin is not widely registered in other countries.
