Terapeutiske indikationer:

Octreotide acetate injection is indicated to reduce blood levels of growth hormone (GH) and insulin growth factor-1 (IGF-1; somatomedin C) in acromegaly patients who have had inadequate response to or cannot be treated with surgical resection, pituitary irradiation, and bromocriptine mesylate at maximally tolerated doses. The goal is to achieve normalization of GH and IGF-1 (somatomedin C) levels (see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION ). In patients with acromegaly, octreotide acetate injection reduces GH to within normal ranges in 50% of patients and reduces IGF-1 (somatomedin C) to within normal ranges in 50% to 60% of patients. Since the effects of pituitary irradiation may not become maximal for several years, adjunctive therapy with octreotide acetate injection to reduce blood levels of GH and IGF-1 (somatomedin C) offers potential benefit before the effects of irradiation are manifested. Improvement in clinical signs and symptoms, or reduction in tumor size or rate of growth, were not shown in clinical trials p

DESCRIPTION
Octreotide acetate injection, a cyclic octapeptide prepared as a clear
sterile solution of
octreotide, acetate salt, in a buffered acetate solution with a pH
range 3.9 to 4.5 for
administration by deep subcutaneous (intrafat) or intravenous (IV)
injection. Octreotide
acetate, known chemically as L-Cysteinamide,
D-phenylalanyl-L-cysteinyl-L-phenylalanyl-
D-tryptophyl-L-lysyl-L-threonyl-N-[2-hydroxy-1-(hydroxymethyl)propyl]-,
cyclic (2→7)-
disulfide; [R-(R*, R*)] acetate salt, is a long-acting octapeptide
with pharmacologic
actions mimicking those of the natural hormone somatostatin.
Octreotide acetate injection is available as sterile 1 mL single-dose
vials in 3 strengths,
containing 50 mcg, 100 mcg, or 500 mcg octreotide acetate, USP, and
sterile 5 mL
multi-dose vials in 2 strengths, containing 200 mcg and 1,000 mcg per
mL of octreotide
acetate, USP.
Each mL of the single-dose vial also contains:
