Product Information

• Name: Vapreotide acetate
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Vapreotide acetate is a synthetic somatostatin analog, which is derived through chemical synthesis to mimic the naturally occurring hormone somatostatin. Its mode of action involves binding to somatostatin receptors, leading to the inhibition of the secretion of several hormones and growth factors, such as growth hormone (GH), insulin, glucagon, and gastrin. This inhibitory effect is achieved due to its structural similarity to somatostatin, allowing it to effectively modulate endocrine and exocrine functions.
