About Oczyesa
Oczyesa is a prolonged-release solution for injection in pre-filled pens.
What it is used for
Oczyesa is used to improve disease symptoms, including those related to diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
How it is used
Oczyesa can only be obtained with a prescription. It is given once every 4 weeks as an injection under the skin in the belly, thigh or buttock. Patients switching to treatment with Oczyesa from other somatostatin analogues containing octreotide or lanreotide should take their first dose of Oczyesa at the end of the daily or monthly dosing interval of the previous treatment. After training, patients may inject Oczyesa themselves if the doctor considers it appropriate.
How it works
The active substance in Oczyesa, octreotide, is a synthetic version of the hormone somatostatin which blocks the release of growth hormone in the pituitary gland. When the medicine attaches to somatostatin receptors (targets), it lowers the levels of growth hormone and as a result also lowers the levels of IGF-1.
Active substance: octreotide
