Abstract
More than 500 medicines are included in the database of the World Health Organization as drugs that can cause acute inflammation of the pancreas. Drug-induced acute pancreatitis develops against the background of taking many medications (statins, antitumor drugs, drugs for the treatment of diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, analgesics and anti-inflammatory drugs, antimicrobial, antiparasitic and antiviral drugs, drugs for the treatment of tuberculosis, diseases of the central nervous system, estrogens, calcium preparations, etc.) from different classes, while the clinical picture does not differ from pancreatitis of other etiology. Based on this, it is worth paying attention to the reasons that contributed to the development of this pathology. Therefore, one of the main principles of the diagnosis of drug-induced pancreatitis is a thorough collection of a pharmacological history. If you suspect that pancreatitis was caused by a drug, you should immediately stop using it and start traditional therapeutic treatment.
