Description
Octreotide Product Overview
Octreotide acetate is a white to off-white lyophilized powder that dissolves freely in water. It is a cyclic octapeptide that mimics natural somatostatin but acts much longer.
Pharmaceutical companies use it in solutions for subcutaneous and intravenous injection, and in long-acting depot formulations based on biodegradable microspheres, for hormone-related conditions such as acromegaly and certain neuroendocrine tumors. Similarly, other peptide APIs in our range include Buserelin Acetate, Goserelin and Teriparatide.
Because injectable products need sterile, endotoxin-controlled material, Zyntex supplies it only to licensed pharmaceutical companies.
