A Decade of Octreotide [PDF]

open access: yesDigestion, 1999
complications following pancreatic surgery). Somatostatin analogues including octreotide have been shown to reduce pressure in the splanchnic circulation, an effect that was exploited in the management of variceal and nonvariceal hemorrhages. Despite a widespread therapeutic application, octreotide seems to be a safe drug free of major side effects ...
