Abstract
Drug-induced acute pancreatitis (DIAP) is a rare gastrointestinal condition but well-known in the medical literature. The medications have been classified into four subgroups (Classes I-IV) depending upon the propensity of the cases discussed in the literature, interval time period between drug initiation to pancreatitis, and reaction to the drug with reintroduction. Our clinical case is one such example where losartan was described as the agent of recurrent pancreatitis after excluding all other possible causes with laboratory and imaging studies.Entities:
