Detailed Information

Introduction

Actide 100mcg injection contains octreotide, a synthetic medication that mimics somatostatin, a naturally occurring hormone in your body. This medicine works by reducing the production of certain hormones that can cause serious health problems. Actide is prescribed to treat several hormone-related conditions including acromegaly (excessive growth hormone), certain intestinal tumors, and pituitary tumors that produce too much thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH).

Your doctor may also recommend Actide to control specific symptoms caused by hormone-secreting tumors, prevent complications after pancreatic surgery, or stop bleeding from ruptured blood vessels in the food pipe (esophageal varices). This medication requires careful medical supervision and regular monitoring to ensure it works safely for your condition.

Key points

  • Contains octreotide, a synthetic somatostatin hormone regulator
  • Treats hormone-related conditions like acromegaly and hormone-secreting tumors
  • Requires regular medical monitoring during treatment
  • Available as subcutaneous, intramuscular, or intravenous injection

Therapeutic Uses

  • Reduce excessive growth hormone production in acromegaly when surgery or other treatments are not suitable
  • Control diarrhea and flushing caused by carcinoid tumors
  • Manage symptoms from vasoactive intestinal peptide-secreting adenomas (VIP-omas)
  • Prevent complications following pancreatic surgery
  • Stop bleeding and prevent re-bleeding from ruptured gastro-esophageal varices in chronic liver disease patients
  • Treat pituitary tumors producing excess thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) when surgery or radiotherapy are unsuitable or ineffective

How it Works

Actide 100mcg injection works as a cyclic octapeptide that more effectively inhibits growth hormone, glucagon, and insulin compared to the body's natural somatostatin hormone. In acromegaly, it reduces growth hormone and IGF-1 (somatomedin C) levels. The medication also inhibits gallbladder contractions, reduces bile secretion, and suppresses thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) secretion, helping control hormone-related symptoms and prevent complications associated with hormone-secreting tumors.

How to Take

Actide 100mcg injection is administered by healthcare professionals or self-injected under your doctor's guidance, depending on the injection type prescribed. Always follow your doctor's dosing instructions exactly, as the dose and injection method depend on your specific condition and medical history. Your healthcare provider will determine the best injection route and schedule for your treatment.

Instructions

  • Subcutaneous injection (under the skin): Your doctor or nurse will teach you the proper injection technique if self-administering

Your healthcare provider will teach you how to self-administer subcutaneous injections safely. Wash your hands thoroughly before injection.

If you notice unusual weight changes or hair loss during treatment, discuss these concerns with your healthcare provider to rule out other underlying causes or medication interactions.

Diabetic patients can take Actide 100mcg injection, but careful monitoring is essential. This medication can increase or decrease blood sugar levels, affecting diabetes control.
