Missed a Dose

Since this medicine is given by a healthcare professional, a missed dose is unlikely. If you are administering it at home and miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose, skip the missed one and return to your regular schedule. Do not inject a double dose to make up for a missed one.

How does this medicine work?

Somatostatin suppresses the release of growth hormone and other hormones in the body. This helps reduce the symptoms of acromegaly, controls the growth of hormone-producing tumors, and decreases blood flow to swollen veins in the esophagus, helping to control bleeding.

Interactions with other medicines

Some medicines can affect the way this injection works. Tell your doctor about all medicines you are taking. In particular, inform your doctor if you are taking medicines to control your blood pressure or if you are on diabetes medications.
