While commonly prescribed for epilepsy, a number of case reports in medical literature indicate that Levipil (levetiracetam) can, in rare instances, cause acute pancreatitis. This is an idiosyncratic and potentially serious adverse drug reaction that clinicians must consider when other causes are ruled out.
