Octreotide
Octreotide is an injectable medication for patients in whom initial treatment with the immediate-release injection has been shown to be effective and tolerated for:
- Long-term maintenance therapy in acromegalic patients who have had inadequate response to surgery and/or radiotherapy or for whom surgery and/or radiotherapy is not an option (the goal of treatment in acromegaly is to reduce GH and IGF-1 levels to normal)
- Long-term treatment of the severe diarrhea and flushing episodes associated with metastatic carcinoid tumors
- Long-term treatment of the profuse watery diarrhea associated with VIP-secreting tumors
For more information, please refer to the Sandostatin LAR Depot (octreotide) website and/or prescribing information.
Note: Please speak with your healthcare provider for more information if you think this therapy might be right for you.
