Enalapril-induced acute recurrent pancreatitis.
Enalapril, an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor, has several adverse effects, but acute pancreatitis is uncommon. The case of a patient with enalapril-induced pancreatitis is described. Development of severe, necrotizing pancreatitis after inadvertent rechallenge confirmed the causal relationship between enalapril and acute pancreatitis.
