Abstract

This article explores the complexity of drug-induced pancreatitis, a form of pancreatitis triggered by medications. It emphasizes potential connections between drugs such as azathioprine, valproic acid, and specific antiretroviral agents and pancreatitis. The etiology of drug-induced pancreatitis is shaped by multiple factors, including direct cellular injury, immune response, and genetic predisposition. Challenges in diagnosis and management, as well as future research areas, are also addressed.

Keywords
