Octreotide Acetate injection

Product Description

Octreotide Acetate Injection is a synthetic peptide that mimics somatostatin, a natural hormone in the body. It is primarily used to treat symptoms caused by certain hormonal disorders and specific tumors. The injection is effective in managing acromegaly, a condition caused by excessive growth hormone, by reducing hormone levels. It is also used to control symptoms such as severe diarrhea and flushing associated with carcinoid tumors and vasoactive intestinal peptide-secreting tumors (VIPomas). Additionally, it helps prevent complications from gastrointestinal bleeding in certain cases. Octreotide Acetate is administered under medical supervision, with dosage tailored to the patient™s condition and response.
