A member asked:
I don't drink no gallbladder, pain on my right side, lipase came back 59 i was on an antibiotic when i took the test could that rise my lipase. ?

Yes: Many different classes of antibiotics can cause an elevation in lipase as a result of pancreatitis. Macrolides (azithromycin and its relatives), sulfa drugs (like bactrim), quinolones (like levaquin), and some other less commonly used antibiotics have all been implicated. Check with your doctor if there is any concern, and if you should continue the medication (if you haven't already finished).
