What is Sandostatin LAR Depot, and how is it used?
Sandostatin LAR Depot is an FDA-approved long-acting injectable form of octreotide. It is prescribed to treat severe, watery diarrhea and sudden facial redness (flushing) caused by hormone-secreting tumors like carcinoid tumors. The medication works by influencing certain hormones and chemicals in the body that drive these symptoms. It is administered as a deep intramuscular injection into the buttock, typically once every four weeks. Your doctor will determine the appropriate dose based on your condition, other medications, and treatment response. To minimize irritation, the injection site is rotated between doses. Self-administration at home is possible after thorough training from your healthcare provider. Always inspect the suspension for particles or discoloration before use and do not inject it if abnormalities are present. Consistent use as prescribed is important for achieving the full therapeutic benefit.
