Lamotrigine-Induced Acute Pancreatitis

Drug-induced pancreatitis is a rare phenomenon. Therefore, diagnosis requires ruling out more common etiologies of acute pancreatitis. The majority of research on drug-induced pancreatitis is from case reports. Only a limited number of drugs have been definitively established to induce pancreatitis....

description Drug-induced pancreatitis is a rare phenomenon. Therefore, diagnosis requires ruling out more common etiologies of acute pancreatitis. The majority of research on drug-induced pancreatitis is from case reports. Only a limited number of drugs have been definitively established to induce pancreatitis. Lamotrigine is used in both bipolar and epilepsy. Lamotrigine is currently weakly identified to induce pancreatitis. We present a case of lamotrigine-induced pancreatitis. Extensive workup ruled out other major causes of pancreatitis-including alcohol. We aimed to show lamotrigine can be a causative drug of acute pancreatitis.
