Abstract

We report a rare case of acute pancreatitis induced by the use of sitagliptin. Our patient was a 54-yearold female who had type 2 diabetes mellitus poorly controlled with Gliclazide. Her GP added sitagliptin for more control. After five months of the use of sitagliptin, she developed acute abdominal pain with nausea. Computed tomography (CT) with contrast showed acute pancreatitis. The patient was admitted to the hospital for monitoring. Firstly, we discontinued sitagliptin. Intravenous broad-spectrum antibiotics with fluid were the main treatment. After five days, we discharged the patient with no abdominal pain or any complaints. We prescribed Gliclazide 120 mg a day with Metformin 1000 mg a day for diabetes control. Follow-up after 3 weeks showed a good recovery
