There have been very few instances where steroid medications of any type have been known to cause Pancreatitis and it is especially unlikely in an eye drop formulation, because you don't hardly absorb any of the substances in them, because the amount use is miniscule.


Where you taking any other medications?

Pancreatitis is much more commonly caused by nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications, such as Acetaminophen and Ibuprofen.

It can also be caused by gallstones or alcoholism.

I suffered from it before, several times and when I finally ended up in the emergency room for it, at a better hospital, with better doctors, it was discovered that I had a severe case of gastritis that had been undiagnosed for years and that's what was causing the problem. Once I got the gastritis under control, I've had no more problems with Pancreatitis.

What did the doctors say caused it?

Do you know what your enzyme levels where?

The doctor said prednisone was probably the cause, through eyedrops. On the webtoday, I found info saying very clearly that prednisone could precipitate pancreatitis. It is very serious. Almost killed me. Today I used Hydrocortisone cream after my doctor assured me that there was no reason for concern. My blood sugar skyrocketed, just as I had told him was my concern. The doctor who had put the eyedrops in my eyes after having been told that I was diabetic, was equally surprised when it put me in the hospital with a very serious illness, pancreatitis. Maybe everyone does not have the same reaction that I did. I got the same kind of advice about the cream as you are giving out. My concern was justified. I am telling you that it is dangerous.
