Octreotide acetate

Uses

Octreotide acetate is used in the treatment of acromegaly, carcinoid tumors, and bleeding esophageal varices. It is also utilized to prevent complications following pancreatic surgery.

How it Works

How Octreotide acetate works: Octreotide acetate is similar to somatostatin, a substance normally found in the human body that inhibits the effects of certain hormones, including growth hormone. It also reduces bleeding from the esophagus by constricting (narrowing) the blood vessels.

Side Effects

Common side effects of Octreotide acetate include diarrhea, abdominal pain, nausea, constipation, flatulence, headache, increased blood glucose levels, gallstones, and injection site reactions.

Expert Advice

  • Octreotide acetate is used to treat acromegaly and certain hormone-producing tumors of the stomach, liver, and pancreas.
  • It is administered as an injection either under the skin or into a vein.
  • Temporary pain at the injection site may occur; this can be alleviated by gently rubbing the area for a few seconds afterward.
  • When used long-term, your doctor may regularly monitor the following:
    • Thyroid function
    • Gallbladder function
    • Liver function
    • Vitamin B12 levels
  • Inform your doctor if you are taking medications to control blood pressure or if you have diabetes.
  • Women who do not wish to conceive should use an effective method of contraception while taking this medication.
