pp-1146 Black page 1 STILAMIN ® Somatostatin Serono FOR INTRAVENOUS INFUSION ONLY - Adjuvant treatment in pancreatic, biliary and intestinal fi stulae. - Prophylaxis and treatment of postoperative complications following pancreatic surgery. - Adjuvant treatment in diabetic ketoacidosis. PHARMACODYNAMIC PROPERTIES Stilamin® is a synthetic cyclic 14 amino-acid peptide, which is identical in structure and action to natural somatostatin. By i.v. infusion in humans, somatostatin causes inhibition of Growth Hormone, Thyroid Stimulating Hormone, Insulin and Glucagon secretion as well as inhibition of gastric acid secretion. It also aff ects the absorption, motility, splanchnic blood fl ow and trophic functions of the gastro-intestinal tract. Physiologically, somatostatin is found mainly in the gastrointestinal tract and in the hypothalamus. Somatostatin inhibits the release of gastrin, gastric acid and pepsin which supports its indication in the treatment of upper G.I., haemorrhage. Furthermore, somatostatin is capable of reducing remarkably splanchnic blood fl ow without causing signifi cant variations in the systemic arterial pressure, which proves to be valuable for the management of oesophageal variceal haemorrhage. Somatostatin reduces both pancreatic endocrine and exocrine secretion which makes it eff ective in the prophylaxis and treatment of postoperative complications of pancreatic surgery. The positive eff ect of somatostatin in the management of diabetic ketoacidosis can be ascribed to its suppression activity of glucagon secretion. PHARMACOKINETICS In healthy persons the plasma level of endogenous somatostatin is low, generally well under 175 ng/L. Following i.v. administration, somatostatin shows a very short plasma half-life which, as measured by radioimmunoassay, lies between 1,1 and 3 minutes in normal subjects, between 1,2 and 4,8 minutes in subjects with liver di Đọc toàn bộ tài liệu
