Octreotide Depot is a long acting form of octreotide injection. It is injected into the buttocks once every 4 weeks, instead of having frequent injections of the octreotide under the skin.

In people with acromegaly the body makes too much growth hormone which controls the growth of tissues, organs and bones. Too much growth hormone leads to enlargement of the bones, especially of the hands and feet. Other symptoms include headaches, increased sweating, tiredness, numbness of the hands and feet, pain and stiffness in the joints and loss of sexual function. By blocking the excess growth hormone, Octreotide Depot can relieve many of these symptoms.

By blocking hormones that are over-produced in these conditions, Octreotide Depot can relieve symptoms such as flushing of the skin and severe diarrhoea. Octreotide Depot contains octreotide, a man-made medicine derived from somatostatin. Somatostatin is a substance found in the human body which controls the effects of certain hormones such as insulin and growth hormone. Octreotide Depot is used instead of somatostatin because its effects are stronger and last longer.

Neuroendocrine tumours are rare tumours which can be found in different parts of the body. Octreotide Depot is also used to control the growth of these tumours, when they are located in the gut (eg appendix, small intestine or colon).

FAMCICLOVIR MYLAN Cold Sore Relief is an antiviral medicine that is used to treat recurrent outbreaks of cold sores in adults who have a normal immune system (the body system which fights against harmful bacteria, viruses and fungi).

Cold sores are an infection caused by a virus called herpes simplex type I (HSV-1). Cold sores usually begin on or around the lips, mouth, and nose. After redness and swelling develop, the small red bumps turn into fluid-filled blisters.

The blisters may weep or burst, and this can be tender and painful. A shallow ulcer and yellow crust form as the cold sore dries. The crust eventually falls off, exposing new pink-coloured skin. Generally, the sores heal without scarring.

The infection is most commonly acquired as a baby or child from physical contact with parents or relatives that have a cold sore, often by kissing. After the initial infection has healed, the virus becomes dormant in nerve cells.

Cold sores can be unpredictable. Even after many years, some people may experience recurring cold sores due to viral reactivation. Some common triggers to a cold sore may include:

Many people who get cold sores know when one is coming by a tingling, burning, itchy or painful sensation or redness in the area. This can happen very rapidly.
