Description: <b>Octreotide</b>, sold under the brand name Sandostatin among others, is an octapeptide that mimics natural somatostatin pharmacologically, though it is a more potent inhibitor of growth hormone, glucagon, and insulin than the natural hormone.<br>
Octreotide works by binding to somatostatin receptors on the surface of cancer cells, which can help to slow down the growth and proliferation of these cells.<br>
