Has been used as as a quick-relief bronchodilator for symptomatic treatment of acute symptoms and exacerbations of bronchial asthma and reversible bronchospasm associated with chronic bronchitis, emphysema, and other obstructive pulmonary diseases. However, generally should be used only when selective β 2 -agonists are not readily available, since excessive cardiac stimulation (e.g., increased heart rate, myocardial irritability, increased oxygen demand) can occur with nonselective agents, particularly at high doses.
|
|
Used to increase cardiac output, BP, and urine flow as an adjunct in the treatment of shock that persists after adequate fluid volume replacement and when systemic vascular resistance is decreased. Individual hemodynamic abnormalities must be identified and monitored so that therapy can be adjusted as necessary.
|
|
Used to produce vasoconstriction and cardiac stimulation as an adjunct to correct hemodynamic imbalances in the treatment of shock that persists after adequate fluid volume replacement. (See Hypovolemia under Cautions.)
|
|
Used to increase cardiac output in the short-term treatment of cardiac decompensation caused by depressed contractility from organic heart disease, cardiac surgical procedures, cardiac arrest† (ACLS; see CPR under Uses), or acute MI† (see MI under Uses).

OCTREOTIDE (ok TREE oh tide) is used to reduce blood levels of growth hormone in patients with a condition called acromegaly. This medicine also reduces flushing and watery diarrhea caused by certain types of cancer.

Synthetic polypeptide structurally and pharmacologically related to somatostatin (growth hormone [somatropin] release inhibiting factor).
