What is Octreotide (Octreotide Acetate)?
BYNFEZIA PEN is a s o matostatin analogue indicated: Acromegaly : To reduce blood levels of growth hormone and insulin growth factor 1 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. Carcinoid Tumors : For the symptomatic treatment of patients with m eta static c a rcinoid t u mo rs where it suppresses or inhibits the severe diarrhea and flushing episodes associated with the disease. Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide Tumors : For the treatment of profuse watery diarrhea associated with VIP-secreting tumors. Limitations of Use Improvement in clinical signs and symptoms, or reduction in tumor size or rate of growth, were not shown in clinical trials performed with octreotide injection; these trials were not optimally designed to detect such effects.

Prospective Evaluation of 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT, Octreotide and F-DOPA PET Imaging in Ectopic Cushing Syndrome
Summary: Between 10% and 15% of patients with endogenous hypercortisolism (Cushing syndrome) have ectopic (non-pituitary) production of adrenocorticotropin hormone (ACTH) that causes cortisol excess. In approximately 50% of these patients, the tumoral source of ACTH cannot be found initially despite very detailed and extensive imaging, including studies such as computed tomography, magnetic resonance imagi...
Human Models of Selective Insulin Resistance: Graded Insulin Suppression Test (GIST) Pilot & Feasibility Study
Summary: The goal of this study is to learn about how the hormone insulin controls blood sugar in a variety of people. The main question it aims to answer is about how much insulin the body actually needs to maintain a normal blood sugar level. Participants will be asked to come in for a one-day study visit in which they will undergo a graded insulin suppression test (GIST). The GIST involves intravenous (...
Preventing Postoperative Complications in Patients Undergoing High-risk Pancreatoduodenectomy With a Bundle Approach Including Hydrocortisone, Octreotide, and the Teres Ligament Patch (PANENCA): an International Randomized Controlled Multicenter Trial
Summary: The PANENCA trial aims to reduce postoperative complications for patients who need a pancreatoduodenectomy (also known as a Whipple procedure), which is a complex operation to remove a tumor from or near the head of the pancreas. One of the most serious and common complications after this surgery is a leak from the pancreas, called a postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF). Such leaks can cause in...

1DOSAGE FORMS AND STRENGTHS
Octreotide Acetate Injection: 100 mcg per mL or 500 mcg per mL single-dose vial.
2CONTRAINDICATIONS
Sensitivity to this drug or any of its components.
3Drug Metabolism Interactions
Limited published data indicate that somatostatin analogs might decrease the metabolic clearance of compounds known to be metabolized by cytochrome P450 enzymes, which may be due to the suppression of GH. Since it cannot be excluded that octreotide may have this effect, other drugs mainly metabolized by CYP3A4 and which have a low therapeutic index (e.g., quinidine, terfenadine) should therefore be used with caution.
4Lutetium Lu 177 Dotatate Injection
Octreotide competitively binds to somatostatin receptors and may interfere with the efficacy of lutetium Lu 177 dotatate. Discontinue Octreotide Acetate Injection at least 24 hours prior to each lutetium Lu 177 dotatate dose.
5OVERDOSAGE
A limited number of accidental overdoses of Octreotide Acetate Injection in adults have been reported. In adults, the doses ranged from 2,400 to 6,000 mcg/day administered by continuous infusion (100 to 250 mcg/hour) or subcutaneously (1,500 mcg 3 times a day). Adverse events in some patients included arrhythmia, complete atrioventricular block, hypotension, cardiac arrest, brain hypoxia, pancreatitis, hepatitis steatosis, hepatomegaly, lactic acidosis, flushing, diarrhea, lethargy, weakness, and weight loss.
If overdose occurs, symptomatic management is indicated. Up-to-date information about the treatment of overdose can often be obtained from the National Poison Control Center at 1-800-222-1222.
