Renal dosing, restrictions and evidence limits
For the labeled acromegaly maintenance population, the usual initiation is 20 mg orally twice daily; in ESRD the recommended starting dose is 20 mg once daily. Subsequent adjustment depends on IGF-1, clinical manifestations and tolerability. Take on an empty stomach, at least one hour before or two hours after food, and swallow whole. Do not apply injectable octreotide schedules to this oral formulation.
