Somatostatina Inyectable 3000mcg Injection

Somatostatina Injectable 3000mcg is a synthetic form of the hormone somatostatin, which naturally occurs in the body and regulates various functions, including the inhibition of growth hormone, insulin, and glucagon. It is used in the treatment of conditions like acromegaly (a disorder characterized by excessive growth hormone), carcinoid tumors, VIPomas (tumors that secrete vasoactive intestinal peptide), and acute bleeding from esophageal varices.

Somatostatin works by suppressing the release of several hormones and slowing down the growth of certain tumors. The injectable form is usually administered in a healthcare setting, and the dosage is determined based on the specific condition being treated.
