Introduction
Netvica LAR 30mg Injection contains the active substance octreotide. It is a synthetic compound derived from somatostatin, a naturally occurring human hormone that inhibits the effects of certain hormones, such as growth hormones. It is used to reduce the amount of growth hormone produced by people with acromegaly (a condition in which the body produces too much growth hormone, causing enlargement of the hands, feet, and facial features; joint pain; and other symptoms) who cannot be treated with surgery, radiation, or another medication.
It is also used to control diarrhoea and flushing caused by carcinoid tumours (slow-growing tumours that release natural substances that can cause symptoms) and vasoactive intestinal peptide-secreting adenomas (VIP-omas; tumours that form in the pancreas and release natural substances that can cause symptoms). It is used to prevent complications after surgery on the pancreas. It is also indicated to stop bleeding and to protect from re-bleeding from ruptured gastro-oesophageal varices in patients suffering from chronic liver disease, and also use Netvica lar injection for cancer. This medicine is used to treat people with pituitary tumours that produce too much thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) when other treatments (surgery or radiotherapy) are not suitable or have not worked, and after radiotherapy to cover the interim period until it becomes fully effective.
Patients can buy Netvica LAR injection from licensed pharmacies or authorised online medical platforms with a valid doctor’s prescription. The Netvica LAR cost in India can differ based on availability, manufacturer, and hospital pharmacy pricing.

Netvica LAR 30mg Injection may lower your heart rate, and very high doses can cause abnormal heart rhythm, so your doctor may monitor your heart function regularly during the treatment.
