Improvement
[edit]To do:
- Find more info for Drugbox
- Avoid repetition of name—lanreotide, lanreotide, lanreotide...
- Find more refs and better refs
- Add more on the use of radiolabeled lanreotide?
- Add more on efficacy and comparison to octreotide.
- Interesting refs:

Oral Lanreotide
[edit]Do you think that one day there will be an oral form of Lanreotide or octreotide? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Interestedperson (talk • contribs)
- Well, there has been some development of orally active somatostatin analogues, although not recently AFAIK. Very high oral doses of octreotide do produce some effect, comparable to a low parenteral dose (there's a reference for that somewhere). Perhaps somatostatin analogues with appropriate structural modifications will reach the market someday... Fvasconcellos (t·c) 19:19, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
...peptide?
[edit]question: what kind of peptide is lanreotide? is it an octapeptide like octreotide? Nomoremissniceguy (talk) 10:01, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
- from the diagram it looks like 9 amino acids. - Rod57 (talk) 09:24, 6 July 2015 (UTC)
Needs info on clinical trial results
[edit]and the first half of the Indications section needs slight rewording to reflect the 2014 approval. - Rod57 (talk) 09:28, 6 July 2015 (UTC)
