Chronic Pancreatitis Medical I.C.E. Card – In Case of Emergency
Chronic Pancreatitis is a long-term inflammation of the pancreas that affects digestion and can lead to severe abdominal pain, weight loss, nausea, and malnutrition. Over time, the pancreas may become permanently damaged, requiring ongoing pain management, enzyme supplements, or insulin if diabetes develops. In emergency situations, intense abdominal symptoms can be mistaken for other acute conditions. This fully printed Chronic Pancreatitis ICE (In Case of Emergency) card ensures that your condition is clearly communicated, helping medical responders deliver faster and more accurate care.
Ideal for daily use, hospital visits, travel, or public settings — this card ensures your diagnosis is recognised, even if you're unable to explain it during a flare-up.

What is Chronic Pancreatitis?
Chronic Pancreatitis is a condition where the pancreas becomes inflamed over a long period, leading to permanent damage. It affects digestion by reducing enzyme production and can also impair insulin production, potentially leading to diabetes. Common causes include long-term alcohol use, genetic factors, or autoimmune conditions. Symptoms may flare suddenly and be severe. An ICE card helps emergency responders recognise the condition quickly and manage it appropriately, reducing the risk of misdiagnosis or unnecessary treatment delays.
