PRESCRIPTION DRUG
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

Abbreviated New Drug Application
OCTREOTIDE ACETATE- OCTREOTIDE ACETATE INJECTION, SOLUTION HIKMA PHARMACEUTICALS USA INC. ---------- 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 lactic acid solution for administration by deep subcutaneous (intrafat) or intravenous (IV) injection. Octreotide acetate, known chemically as D-phenylalanyl-L-cysteinyl-L-phenylalanyl-D-tryptophyl-L-lysyl-L-threonyl-_N_- [(1_R_,2_R_)-2-hydroxy-1-(hydroxymethyl)propyl]-L-cysteinamide cyclic (2→7)-disulfide 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 vials in 3 strengths, each mL containing 50 mcg, 100 mcg, or 500 mcg of octreotide (as acetate) as the active and the following inactive ingredients: L-lactic acid 3 mg, sodium chloride 7 mg, sodium hydroxide, and water for injection, q.s. Octreotide Acetate Injection is also available as sterile 5 mL multiple dose vials in 2 strengths, each mL containing 200 mcg or 1,000 mcg of octreotide (as acetate) as the active and the following inactive ingredients: L-lactic acid 3 mg, sodium chloride 7 mg, sodium hydroxide, and water for injection, q.s. Phenol 5 mg has been added as a preservative. L-Lactic acid and sodium hydroxide are added to provide a buffered solution, pH range 3.9 to 4.5. The molecular weight of octreotide acetate is 1019.3 g/mol (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 (GH), glucagon, and insulin than somatostatin. Like somatostatin, it also suppresses luteinizing hormone (LH) response to gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH), decreases splanchnic blood flow, and inhibits release of serotonin, gastrin, vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), secreti Leggi il documento completo
