Abstract: Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP)has become an important method for the diagnosis and treatment of cholangio -pancreatic duct diseases.Post -ERCP pancreatitis (PEP)is the most common complication and its incidence has increased up to 40% in recent years.The prevention of PEP has always been a hot topic in clinical research.This article reviews the research advances in the pharmacological prevention of PEP and points out that controlled clinical trials with a large sample size are still needed to investigate the effect of preventive drugs,and further studies should focus on optimal medication time,route of administration,and dose.In addition,de-mographic features of populations from different countries and different age groups should be taken into consideration.
