Roussel-Uclaf Causality Assessment Method

The Roussel-Uclaf Causality Assessment Method (RUCAM) is a tool used by healthcare professionals to determine if a medication may be the cause of liver injury. It evaluates factors like the timing of drug intake, the pattern of liver damage, and the improvement after stopping the drug. Each factor is scored to help assess how likely it is that the medication caused the liver problem. RUCAM provides a structured, consistent way to analyze potential drug-related liver issues, supporting safer medication use and better diagnosis of drug side effects.
