<h1>SOMAVERT</h1><p> SOMAVERT (pegvisomant for injection) is a medicine used to treat acromegaly. SOMAVERT decreases the action of growth hormone (GH) and levels of IGF-I (Insulin-like Growth Factors) circulating in the blood. This helps control acromegaly.
SOMAVERT is indicated for the treatment of acromegaly in patients who have had an inadequate response to surgery and/or radiation therapy and/or other medical therapies, or for whom these therapies are not appropriate. The goal of treatment is to normalize serum IGF-I levels.
While you are on SOMAVERT, your doctor will check your IGF-I levels often. This will show how well your disease is controlled. Your doctor may change your dose to help you achieve normal IGF-I levels.</p>
