Severe pancreatitis is usually caused by circulatory disturbances and systemic inflammatory responses. After developing severe pancreatitis, patients may experience symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and hypotension; in severe cases, it can lead to shock. Intense abdominal pain associated with severe pancreatitis requires analgesic treatment, such as ibuprofen sustained-release tablets.
