Acute Pancreatitis After a Late Period of Metformin Intoxication in a Non-Diabetic Patient
Journal Title: Journal of European Internal Medicine Professionals (JEIMP) - Year 2023, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Metformin, an oral antidiabetic drug, is the first-line treatment modality for the treatment of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. Metformin is more commonly associated with gastrointestinal side effects. Acute pancreatitis due to metformin is very rare. We present a case of acute pancreatitis after a late period of metformin intoxication in a non-diabetic patient. Because acute pancreatitis can appear in the late period of metformin intoxication, the emergency physician should be vigilant for this condition.
