Captopril, a common medication for diabetic patients, may cause pancreatitis. This case report highlights the importance of considering this side effect in patients experiencing severe abdominal pain.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Endocrinology
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Captopril is frequently prescribed for managing hypertension in patients with type II diabetes.
  • Abdominal pain is a common symptom, but its association with captopril requires specific attention in diabetic populations.

Observation:

  • A case of acute pancreatitis was observed in a patient with type II diabetes using captopril.
  • The pancreatitis was confirmed by reintroducing captopril, establishing a causal link.

Findings:

  • Captopril use is associated with an increased risk of developing acute pancreatitis.
  • Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, including captopril, should be considered potential causes of pancreatitis.

Implications:

  • Clinicians should maintain a high index of suspicion for drug-induced pancreatitis in diabetic patients on ACE inhibitors.
  • Discontinuation of captopril or other ACE inhibitors is recommended for unexplained severe abdominal pain in this patient group.
