WHAT SOMAVERT IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
SOMAVERT is used for the treatment of acromegaly, a hormonal disorder
resulting from the
increased secretion of growth hormone (GH) and IGF-I (Insulin-like
growth factors), which is
characterised by overgrowth of bone, soft tissue swelling, heart
disease and related disorders.
The active substance in SOMAVERT, pegvisomant is known as a growth
hormone receptor
antagonist. These substances decrease the action of GH and levels of
IGF-I circulating in the blood.
