What this medicine is for
Octreotide is a medicine in the category "hormone / endocrine treatment". Ce traitement hormonal remplace ou module une hormone de l'organisme, sous surveillance médicale.
In the case of Octreotide, this means: Somatostatin analogue (acromegaly, tumours). It is most often a maintenance treatment, taken at regular times over long periods; its benefit is judged over time, not by how you feel on the day.
Under which brands it is found
Octreotide is part of the composition of about 6 presentations listed in France. It is found under several brand names and as generics.
- Octreotide Arrow
- Octreotide Hospira
- Octreotide Teva Lp

Original brand-name products and generics deliver the same active substance; the choice between them is made with your doctor or pharmacist.
Do you need a supplement? No.
For Octreotide, we offer no supplement. No nutritional supplementation is seriously justified as an addition to this treatment, and we would rather write that than invent a need. Our range is limited to five classes of everyday medicines for which a targeted intake makes sense; outside of those, we do not sell for the sake of selling, and that is what gives weight to our five products.
