- Abstract
Acute Pancreatitis is an unusual side effect of Metformin. The case of a 29-year-old woman with a history of necrotizing Acute Pancreatitis, classified as Baltazar D in 2020, is presented. In March 2021, she experienced another episode of Acute Pancreatitis, this time classified as Baltazar C, without evident necrosis. Investigations did not reveal common causes, but it was noted that, in the two weeks preceding both episodes, the patient had received Metformin treatment for Polycystic Ovary syndrome and Prediabetes, respectively. The successful response involved intravenous fluid administration and discontinuation of the medication, preventing immediate complications, and achieving complete reversal of symptoms. In similar cases, it is crucial to identify risk factors, adjust the dose based on renal function, and closely monitor for any symptoms associated with acute pancreatitis.
