PRESCRIPTION DRUG
Octreotide acetate injection is indicated to reduce blood levels of growth hormone and IGF-I (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 growth hormone and IGF-I (somatomedin C) levels (see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION). In patients with acromegaly, octreotide acetate reduces growth hormone to within normal ranges in 50% of patients and reduces IGF-I (somatomedin C) to within normal ranges in 50%-60% of patients. Since the effects of pituitary irradiation may not become maximal for several years, adjunctive therapy with octreotide acetate to reduce blood levels of growth hormone and IGF-I (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 performed with octre

At room temperature, (20°C-30°C or 70°F-86°F), octreotide acetate single dose and multi-dose vials are stable for 14 days if protected from light. The solution can be allowed to come to room temperature prior to administration. Do not warm artificially. After initial use, multiple-dose vials should be discarded within 14 days. Single-dose vials should be opened just prior to administration and the unused portion discarded. Dispose unused product or waste properly. Manufactured by: Wockhardt Limited Mumbai, India.

Abbreviated New Drug Application
OCTREOTIDE ACETATE- OCTREOTIDE ACETATE INJECTION WOCKHARDT LIMITED ---------- OCTREOTIDE ACETATE INJECTION RX ONLY DESCRIPTION Octreotide acetate injection, a cyclic octapeptide prepared as a clear sterile solution of octreotide, acetate salt, in a buffered glacial acetic acid solution for administration by deep subcutaneous (intrafat) or intravenous 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. Each mL of single dose vial contains octreotide (as acetate), either 50 mcg (0.05 mg), 100 mcg (0.1 mg) or 500 mcg (0.5 mg) with 7 mg sodium chloride USP in water for injection USP. The pH range is between 3.9 and 4.5 buffered with glacial acetic acid USP, sodium acetate trihydrate USP, and it is sealed under nitrogen NF. Each mL of multi dose vial contains octreotide (as acetate), either 200 mcg or 1000 mcg with 7 mg sodium chloride USP, 5 mg phenol USP in water for injection USP. The pH range is between 3.9 and 4.5 buffered with glacial acetic acid USP, sodium acetate trihydrate USP, and it is sealed under nitrogen NF. The molecular weight of octreotide acetate is 1019.3 (free peptide, C H N O S ) and its amino acid sequence is: CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY Octreotide acetate injection exerts pharmacologic actions similar to the natural hormone, somatostatin. It is an even more potent inhibitor of growth hormone, glucagon, and insulin than somatostatin. Like somatostatin, it also suppresses LH response to GnRH, decreases splanchnic blood flow, and inhibits release of serotonin, gastrin, vasoactive intestinal peptide, secretin, motilin, and pancreatic polypeptide. By virtue of these pharmacological actions, octreotide acetate has been used to treat the symptoms associated with metastatic carcinoid tumors (flushing and diarrhea), and V Διαβάστε το πλήρες έγγραφο
