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.
Somatuline, also known as Lanreotide, is a synthetic hormone mimicking a natural substance in the body called somatostatin. It works by blocking the release of certain hormones which can affect growth and function in the body. Classified as a somatostatin analog, Lanreotide is primarily used to manage symptoms of acromegaly and neuroendocrine tumors, particularly those that result in carcinoid syndrome. This medication serves to control tumor growth and alleviate symptoms, but it is generally not considered a cure.
Somatuline Depot requires administration by a healthcare professional. Patients typically receive it as a deep subcutaneous injection once every 28 days. The standard dosage of lanreotide varies, but it usually starts at 90 or 120 mg and may be adjusted based on the individual's response to treatment.
The active ingredient in Somatuline is Lanreotide.
Patients should not use this medication if they have:
Side effects from a Somatuline injection include stomach pain, nausea, diarrhea, as well as headaches and dizziness. Injection site reactions like pain, itching, or lumps are also common.
More severe issues include gallstones leading to gallbladder inflammation and pancreatitis, with symptoms such as sudden abdominal pain, fever, and jaundice. It can disrupt blood sugar regulation, requiring close monitoring for diabetic patients. Other significant risks involve slow heart rate, increased blood pressure, and thyroid dysfunction, which may cause fatigue, cold intolerance, and depression. Prompt medical attention is recommended for any serious or worsening conditions.
