the Pharmacological

Pharmacokinetics Absorption properties of a lanreotid is characterized by the first phase of fast release of the peptide which is on a surface of microspheres which is replaced by the second slow phase of release.
Peak of the first phase (Cmax 1: 6.8 ± 3.8 mkg/l) it is celebrated through 1.4 ± 0.8 hours and peak of the second phase (Cmax 2: 2.5 ± 0.9 mkg/l) through 1.9 ± 1.8 days after reception. The absolute bioavailability is 46.1 ± 16.7%. The average time of keeping of drug 8 ± and elimination half-life is 1 days 5.2 ± 2.5 days. These indicators confirm the prolonged drug release.
At the same time concentration of growth hormone and an insulinopodobny growth factor (IFR-1) decrease during, at least, 14 days after single administration of drug.
At constant administration of drug within several months the cumulation is noted. Studying binding of a lanreotid components of blood showed that similar interaction is improbable at such level.
The pharmacodynamics
Somatulin represents synthetic peptide, a somatostatin analog (natural hormone).
To similarly natural somatostatin, lanreotid inhibits a number of endocrine, exocrine and paracrine mechanisms, possesses more expressed tropnost to peripheral somatostatinovy receptors (hypophysial and pancreatic), than to central. It caused selectivity of action concerning secretion of growth hormone, glands of intestines and a pancreas. Drug suppresses patholologically growth hormone hypersecretion and also secretion of glands of intestines and pancreas.

Indications
- an acromegalia

The route of administration and doses
the Drug is administered only intramusculary (in oil) in specialized institutions and in strict accordance with this instruction.
Treatment is begun with trial introduction (in case of its inefficiency the further therapy is inexpedient) and estimate response (dynamics of secretion of growth of growth hormone, the symptoms connected with a carcinoid tumor).
The mode of dosing and duration of therapy establish individually for each patient.
Appoint 30 mg of drug in oil of 1 times in 14 days. At insufficient efficiency it is possible to increase the frequency of administration of drug to 1 injection each 10 days. The course of treatment depends on the level of secretion of growth hormone and expressiveness of clinical manifestations of a disease
