Abstract

Octreotide is an octapeptide analogue of Somatostatin used to supress Growth hormone activity and treatment of acromegaly, carcinoid and other hormone secreting tumours. Also in management of variceal bleeding secondary to portal hypertension and chylothorax, post cardiac surgery. Commonly nausea, diarrhoea, gall stones occur as adverse effect. Rarely hypersensitivity reaction occurs, which may become life threatening. Here we are describing a case of 42year male patient was brought complained of vomiting of blood and developed hypersensitivity reaction after administration of inj. Octreotide. To our knowledge it is the first case occurring in our institute and also a rare occurrence. Prompt management was done and alternative treatment was initiated.
