title: Somatuline Autogel: an extended release lanreotide formulation.
abstract: Somatuline Autogel provides effective control of growth hormone levels and is at least as effective as intramuscular Somatuline LA. Somatuline Autogel has a first order kinetic profile providing at least 28 days' efficacy with reduced burst release and a more consistent drug release over the dose period. The product is presented in a pre-filled syringe and is given deep subcutaneously.
