Terms & Conditions of Program
A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.
The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.
Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.
Your doctor may prescribe Sandostatin to treat various medical conditions, including acromegaly and chemotherapy-induced diarrhea. It is a somatostatin analog, meaning it imitates the effects of somatostatin, a naturally occurring hormone in the body.
Sandostatin lowers the amount of serotonin released in the body, which regulates the release of various growth hormones. Some of the affected hormones include insulin, gastrin, and glucagon. It controls symptoms associated with these conditions and may also slow down tumor growth.
Your doctor will give you directions on how to administer this medication. The directions will depend on what condition is being treated. Do not adjust the medication without consulting your healthcare provider.
The active ingredient in Sandostatin is octreotide.
The most common drug-drug interactions for Sandostatin include:
Octreotide may affect gallbladder function, so exercise caution if you have gallstones or a history of gallbladder disease.
If you have diabetes and are taking diabetes medication, let your doctor know before starting this drug. Always monitor your blood sugar while taking this drug.
Octreotide can cause low levels of thyroid hormone. Inform your doctor if you have a history of thyroid disease.
Inform your doctor if you have a history of heart disease, gastrointestinal disease, liver problems, kidney problems, or neuroendocrine tumors.
Common adverse reactions may include:
Sandostatin [package insert]. East Hanover, NJ: Novartis; 2002.
