Octreotide Teva is a\u00a0synthetic\u00a0version of somatostatin.\u00a0Somatostatin occurs naturally in the body where it inhibits the\u00a0release\u00a0of one of the certain\u00a0hormones\u00a0such as.\u00a0growth hormone.\u00a0The advantages of Octreotide Teva compared to somatostatin are that it is stronger and that the effect lasts longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

acromegaly is a condition in which the body produces too much growth hormone . Normally, growth hormone controls the growth of tissues , organs and bones. Too much growth hormone causes the size of your bones and tissues to increase, especially in your hands and feet. Octreotide Teva significantly reduces the symptoms of acromegaly , which include headaches, excessive sweating, numbness in the hands and feet, fatigue and joint pain. In most cases, overproduction of growth hormone is caused by an enlargement of the pituitary glandone (a pituitary adenoma); treatment with Octreotide Teva may reduce the size of the adenoma.
Octreotide Teva is used to treat people with acromegaly:
Overproduction of certain hormones and other natural substances can be caused by rare conditions in the stomach, intestines or pancreas. This upsets the natural hormone balance in the body and results in a variety of symptoms, such as redness , diarrhea, low blood pressure , rash, and weight loss. Treatment with Octreotide Teva helps control these symptoms.<\/li>
neuroendocrine tumors are rare tumors that can be found in different parts of the body. Octreotide Teva is also used to control the growth of these tumors , when they are located in the gut (eg appendix, small intestine or colon).<\/li>
Too much thyroid- stimulating hormone ( TSH ) leads to hyperthyroidism . Octreotide Teva is used to treat people with pituitary tumors that produce too much thyroid- stimulating hormone ( TSH ):What you need to know before using Octreotide Teva<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
