Liraglutide, a long-acting cardioprotective glucagon-like peptide (GLP)-1 analog, is effective for medical weight loss and glycemic control in type 2 diabetes. It is generally well tolerated with mild side effects. There are few reports on complications from Liraglutide overdose. The aim of this paper is to report the case of a 25-year-old healthy female who presented with acute pancreatitis secondary to Liraglutide overdose and to review the current literature on Liraglutide used for obesity management. The current literature examining the association between acute pancreatitis and Liraglutide use, and Liraglutide overdose are inconclusive. Further research is recommended.
