A general flowchart visualizing possible mechanisms and outcomes related to drug hepatotoxicity and their association with the progression of SIH in patients with COVID-19; (1) Drugs may interact with particular receptors and cause a detrimental response or suppress/shut down a crucial function. (2) Drugs can cause different types of hypersensitivity reactions (HSR). (3) Drugs may trigger certain cascade reactions that affect regulatory systems. (4) Drugs might also interfere with transcription and replication processes
