Drug Mode of Action ::
Octreotide is a synthetic analogue of somatostatin which acts by suppressing basal and stimulated secretion of growth hormone (GH). It also suppresses LH response to gonadotrophin-releasing hormone and reduces the secretion of gastrin, vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), insulin, glucagon, secretin, motilin and pancreatic polypeptide.
Drug Interactions ::
Dosage adjustment of concurrent therapy may be necessary with calcium channel blockers, oral hypoglycaemics, ?-blockers, diuretics. May increase concentration of bromocriptine. Potentially Fatal: Requirements of insulin may be reduced requiring careful blood-glucose monitoring. Reduction in ciclosporin bioavailability and efficacy.
