Drug-induced acute pancreatitis belonngs to relatively rare gastrointestinal adverse drug reactions. Both published papers and our own

results show higher incidence of drug-induced acute pancreatitis in patients suffering inflammatory bowel diseases than in general

population. However, causes of this remain unknown. The most threatened patients seems to be females suffering Crohn`s disease, the

most dangerous drugs being azathioprine and mesalazine. The risk of other drugs is significantly lower.

Keywords: adverse drug reactions, drug-induced acute pancreatitis, Crohn disease, ulcerative colitis
