In Carcinoid tumours

Carcinoid tumors are slow growing abnormal masses that occur in several parts of the body, chiefly, intestine, pancreas, colon, rectum, lungs etc. These tumors occur due to oversecretion of certain hormones in our body. Octride 0.1mg Injection helps reduce these hormone levels to normal range and prevents further complications. Follow your doctor’s instructions to get maximum benefit.

In Bleeding esophageal varices

Esophageal varices develop when normal blood flow to the liver is blocked by a clot or scar tissue in the liver. Octride 0.1mg Injection helps prevent abnormal growth of tissues that may cause these blockages and also helps control bleeding in such cases.
