There have been several case reports of statin induced pancreatitis, and they have been associated with the use of simvastatin, pravastatin, fluvastatin, and more recently atorvastatin
The evidence base was poor: exclusion of non-drug causes of acute pancreatitis was incomplete or poorly reported in all cases, 47% had at least one underlying condition predisposing to acute pancreatitis, and causality assessment was not conducted in 81%
Moreover, Statin did not have a protective effect

Reducing pancreatitis risk and TG – Statins generally have mild to moderate TG-lowering effects , as discussed above (see 'Assess and treat LDL-C' above)
Acute pancreatitis has been reported in a few cases treated with atorvastatin, fluvastatin, lovastatin, simvastatin and pravastatin
Pancreatitis is a rare adverse effect of statin therapy, but it has been documented in several reports involving most of the statins
Hypertriglyceridemia is an uncommon but a well-established etiology of acute pancreatitis, with a reported incidence of 2-4% [1–3]
The purpose of identifying the etiology is to prevent recurrent disease, including the possibility of more severe disease ()
4) familial hypertriglyceridemia
Recently, larger studies have challenged the correlations made by earlier case reports, and instead demonstrate a mild protective effect in statin users
A variety of other etiological factors have been reported, with medications being a relatively uncommon cause accounting for approximately up to 2% of cases

A 58-year-old man was prescribed atorvastatin 10 mg for 6 months for hyperlipidemia
Statins have anti-inflammatory properties and we aimed to evaluate the association between the use of statins and the risk of death, progression of CP, and pancreatic cancer in patients with CP
