Description
Summary:Drug-induced pancreatitis (DIP) belongs to gastrointestinal drug-induced diseases. With the wide use of drugs, the number of drugs that may induce DIP is increasing. Since there are not specific clinical indicators for detecting DIP or a complete diagnostic and therapeutic process for DIP, its diagnosis is often missed. The epidemiology and pathogenesis of DIP, as well as drugs inducing DIP and their classifications, are reviewed. It is stressed that careful collection of medication history of DIP patients and timely discontinuation of suspected pharmacological agents are the key to diagnosis and treatment of this disease, and the patients should be informed of the related drugs that induce DIP to prevent its recurrence.
