A number of medications are also known to cause acute pancreatitis. Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE-I), statins, hormone replacement therapy, oral contraceptives, diuretics, antiretroviral therapy (HAART), valproic acid and hypoglycemic agents are most commonly implicated drugs in this regard.
