Octapeptide-2 is a novel peptide that promotes hair growth. It rapidly repairs hair follicle cells, stimulates the natural growth of hair, and effectively reduces the shedding caused by DHT and aging.
Octapeptide-2 strengthens the hair while stimulating the hair follicles to produce healthy hair, preventing hair from turning white.
Octreotide has also been used off-label for the treatment of severe, refractory diarrhea from other causes.
It is used in toxicology for the treatment of prolonged recurrent hypoglycemia after sulfonylurea and possibly meglitinides overdose.
It has also been used with varying degrees of success in infants with nesidioblastosis to help decrease insu.lin hypersecretion.
Octreotide has been used experimentally to treat obesity, particularly obesity caused by lesions in the hunger and satiety centers of the hypothalamus, a region of the brain central to the regulation of food intake and energy expenditure.
