Терапеутске индикације:

Octreotide acetate 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% to 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 octreotide a

PRESCRIBING INFORMATION
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 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,
100, or 500 mcg/mL octreotide (as acetate).
Each mL of the single-dose vials also contains:
lactic acid, USP
3.4 mg
mannitol, USP
45 mg
sodium bicarbonate, USP
qs to pH 4.2 ± 0.3
water for injection, USP
qs to 1 mL
Lactic acid and sodium bicarbonate are added to provide a buffered
solution, pH to 4.2 ± 0.3.
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 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 Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide
(VIP) secreting adenomas (watery diarrhea).
Octreotide acetate substantially reduces growth hormone and/or IGF-I
(somatomedin C) levels in
patients with acromegaly.
