Somatostatin is a hormone secreted by the pituitary gland that inhibits the secretion of growth hormone, thyroid hormone and insulin. In Hong Kong, thaumamide is commonly used to treat insulinoma, carcinoid tumors, and congenital excess growth hormone secretion. Additionally, thaumamide may be used to control symptoms of acute pancreatitis. This medication may be given by injection or intravenous drip. Side effects such as diarrhea, abdominal pain, headache, and nausea may occur while using thaumamide. If you have a severe allergic reaction or persistent discomfort, seek medical attention immediately. Before using thaumamide, patients should inform their doctor about allergies, other drug use, and existing medical conditions. Follow your doctor's advice, be sure to use thaumamide as directed, and get regular medical check-ups.
How to use: SOMATOSTATIN is usually given as a subcutaneous injection. Before injecting, the injection site should be thoroughly cleaned and the injection should be administered as directed by your physician or health care provider. It is usually recommended to give the injection immediately after eating. During use, avoid injecting into areas with bruised or damaged skin.
Dosage Guidelines: For adults, the generally recommended starting dose is 0.1 mg to 0.5 mg three times daily. Depending on the severity of the condition and individual response, your physician may adjust the dosage. For children, dosage is usually based on weight and condition, with a recommended starting dose of 0.05 mg to 0.1 mg daily. When adjusting any dosage, you should strictly follow your physician's instructions and do not change the dosage or frequency of taking on your own. If you have any questions or concerns, you should consult a medical professional immediately.
