Risk of repeated sudden pancreas inflammation with GLP-1 receptor drugs after previous pancreas inflammation: a systematic review

Updated

Abstract

The safety of GLP-1 receptor agonists in patients with a history of pancreatitis is uncertain.

  • GLP-1 receptor agonists are commonly prescribed for type 2 diabetes and obesity.
  • The review focuses on the risk of recurrent acute pancreatitis in patients using these medications.
  • Current evidence regarding the association between GLP-1 RA therapy and recurrent acute pancreatitis is limited.
  • Further evaluation is necessary to clarify the safety of GLP-1 RAs in individuals with prior pancreatitis.
