Somatostatin Analogs

Men, you know you need somatostatin. This is a hugely important substance. Hugely important. Your body makes it. It does! It makes it in your stomach, pancreas, hypothalamus, and bowels. This one's going to slow down how much gut hormone, insulin, and growth hormone your body makes. It'll even make sure your stomach and bowels empty right. Yes! But men? Pituitary tumors can force your body into making way too many hormones. Yes, way too many! That's why you'll get something like carcinoid syndrome.

The good news? Your doc's going to fix it by prescribing somatostatin analogs. This med's giving you some artificial somatostatin in your body! It'll work wonders when you've got a pituitary tumor. You'll get so much control over your symptoms, like skin flushing and diarrhea. Men, your hormones will be under control again. Win! But wait, there's more! Many, many men say this med even shrinks their pituitary tumor. Awesome, right? A nurse will give you an injection every 4 weeks with this med.
