## Definition

Pancreatitis is inflammation of the pancreas causing severe abdominal pain, often radiating to the back, with nausea and vomiting.

## Extended

Reported rarely with GLP-1 RAs. Patients with prior severe pancreatitis may be excluded. Stop medicine and seek emergency care for persistent severe abdominal pain. In India, these concepts appear in RSSDI and ICMR guidance for type 2 diabetes and obesity care—always confirm details with your prescribing physician.
