title: [Sandostatin in the treatment of diarrhea of different origins].
abstract: Antidiarrheal action of sandostatin (octreotide) was studied in dumping syndrome, diabetic enteropathy, short-bowel syndrome, Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Sandostatin proved effective in diarrhea of secretory, motor and osmotic origin. Dumping syndrome, diabetic enteropathy, Crohn's disease and short-bowel syndrome responded completely. In ulcerative colitis the effect was paradoxical: intensive diarrhea discontinued, but moderate diarrhea became more intensive. Sandostatin indications in ulcerative colitis should receive further investigations.
