Trilipix/pancreatitis (Top voted first)

my brother has been in the hospital with acute pancreatitis for the past two months. He had surgery three weekis ago and is still unable to eat anything but very small amounts and has a feeding tube down to his intestines to by pass his pancreas. I know one of the sided effects to trilipix can be swelling of the pancreas. Is anyone else experiencing these problems? He has been very, very sick and the doctors say it can take months for him to recover. Please let us know if you have experienced these issues.

REPORT

Pancreatitis is listed as a possible serious side effect of Trilipix.

Was he taking any other medications? Did he drink alcohol?

Both of those possibilities can increase the risk of developing pancreatitis.

I'm sorry he's suffering, it can be a very serious and dangerous condition, but all aspects do need to be explored to discover the cause.

yes he is taking other meds. this is just one of the possibilities of why he is having so many problems. we are having the doctor take him off of trilipix to see if these problems persist. he has been in the hospital since thanksgiving. he has come home twice only to return to the hosital within 3 to five days.
