SOMATOSTATIN 3MG INJECTION belongs to a class of medicines known as Hormones, used in the treatment of severe acute gastrointestinal hemorrhage (gastrointestinal bleeding) caused by gastric or duodenal ulcers, hemorrhagic gastritis (inflammation in the lining of your stomach) and esophageal varices (enlarged veins in the esophagus). Gastrointestinal hemorrhage (gastrointestinal bleeding) refers to the blood loss from any of the several organs of the digestive system that runs from your mouth to anus. It can occur due to anal fissures, colorectal cancer, rectal ulcers, crohn's disease or diverticulosis (small pouches, called diverticula, form in the lining of the colon).

SOMATOSTATIN 3MG INJECTION contains Somatostatin as an active ingredient, which works by inhibiting the growth hormone, thyroid stimulating hormone, insulin and glucagon secretion as well as inhibition of stomach acid secretion. Additionally, it regulates the digestive system's ability to absorb nutrients, move food through the gut, control blood flow, and maintain the health and growth of gastrointestinal tissues.

Most of these side effects of SOMATOSTATIN 3MG INJECTION do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.
