About SOMATIN 3000 INJECTION

  • SOMATIN 3000 INJECTION contains an active substance called Somatostatin, which is a man-made version of a natural substance in your body (octreotide). This substance helps control certain hormones, including growth hormone. It is primarily used to help manage acromegaly, a condition where your body makes too much growth hormone. This can lead to enlarged hands, feet, and face, joint pain, and other problems. SOMATIN 3000 INJECTION is used for acromegaly when surgery, radiation, or other medicines are not suitable or haven't worked well.
  • This medicine is also used for several other conditions. It helps control severe diarrhea and flushing caused by certain types of slow-growing tumors called carcinoid tumors. It can also treat symptoms caused by specific tumors in the pancreas (VIP-omas) that release substances causing these issues. For patients undergoing surgery on the pancreas, SOMATIN 3000 INJECTION is used to help prevent complications afterward. In patients with severe liver disease who experience bleeding from swollen veins in the food pipe (gastro-esophageal varices), it is used to stop the bleeding and prevent it from happening again.
  • Furthermore, SOMATIN 3000 INJECTION is prescribed for people with pituitary tumors that produce too much thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH). This is often when standard treatments like surgery or radiotherapy are not suitable or effective, or as a temporary measure while waiting for radiotherapy to become fully effective.
  • SOMATIN 3000 INJECTION is given by injection, usually under the skin, but sometimes into a vein. Your doctor or nurse will show you how or administer it. It's important to follow your doctor's instructions carefully regarding dosage and frequency. Before starting treatment, make sure to tell your doctor about any other health problems you have, especially issues with your gallbladder (like gallstones), problems controlling your blood sugar (diabetes or hypoglycemia), vitamin B12 deficiency, or liver disease. This medicine can affect your heart rate, potentially slowing it down. In some cases, especially at higher doses, it might cause an irregular heart rhythm. Your doctor may monitor your heart function during treatment. If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, inform your doctor before using SOMATIN 3000 INJECTION to discuss potential risks and benefits.

Uses of SOMATIN 3000 INJECTION

  • Used in the treatment of acromegaly, a condition caused by excess growth hormone.
  • Helps to alleviate symptoms caused by certain tumors found in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract.
  • Administered to help prevent potential complications that may arise after undergoing surgery on the pancreas gland.
  • Used for treating pituitary tumors that are responsible for the overproduction of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH).

Dosage of SOMATIN 3000 INJECTIONArrow

  • Always use SOMATIN 3000 INJECTION exactly as your doctor tells you. Following their instructions precisely is very important for the medicine to work safely and effectively.

Another method is intramuscularly, where it is injected deep into a large muscle, most commonly in the buttocks. The third method is intravenously, delivered directly into a vein, usually in your arm. The specific route chosen will be determined by your healthcare provider. If your doctor decides that you should receive the injection under the skin (subcutaneous) at home, they, a nurse, or another trained healthcare professional will provide detailed instructions and demonstrate exactly how to prepare and give the injection correctly. It's important to learn the proper technique and rotate injection sites if you are giving repeated subcutaneous doses.
