Product Description
Product Name: Sandostain 0.1mg/ml Injection
Product Form: Injection
Pack Size: 5's
Manufactured By: Novartis
Used For:
Sandostatin 0.1mg/ml Injection is primarily used to treat symptoms associated with certain types of tumors, such as carcinoid tumors and VIPomas (vasoactive intestinal peptide tumors), that produce excessive hormones. It is also used in the management of acromegaly, a condition where the body produces too much growth hormone, leading to enlarged bones and tissues. Sandostatin works by reducing the production of certain hormones and slowing tumor growth.
Side Effects:
Common side effects of Sandostatin may include gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, or constipation. Some patients may experience gallstones, injection site reactions like pain or swelling, and changes in blood sugar levels, leading to either hyperglycemia or hypoglycemia. Other potential side effects include dizziness, headache, and fatigue.
Precautions:
Before using Sandostatin 0.1mg/ml Injection, inform your healthcare provider if you have a history of gallbladder disease, diabetes, thyroid problems, or heart disease. Regular monitoring of blood sugar levels and thyroid function is recommended during treatment. Sandostatin should be administered under the supervision of a healthcare professional, and the injection site should be rotated to avoid irritation. If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, consult your doctor before using this medication. Report any unusual symptoms or side effects to your healthcare provider promptly
