Abstract
Drug-induced acute pancreatitis (AP) is rare, but as there are no systematic data on it, the true incidence is not known. This case report is a first description of two episodes of AP occurring after administration and subsequent re-administration of mefenamic acid to a young woman without comorbidities. Other common causes of AP could be ruled out. With both episodes, the latency of AP was less than 24h after drug intake. Mefenamic acid should be considered as a possible cause of drug-induced AP.
