Oral octreotide therapy method for females needing contraception
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11890316B2) discloses a method for administering oral octreotide to female subjects in need of a contraceptive method. The method involves administering an oral dosage form containing octreotide and a medium chain fatty acid salt, along with counseling the subject to avoid concomitant use of a combined oral contraceptive. The composition comprises 12% to 21% by weight of the medium chain fatty acid salt and is specifically designed for subjects with conditions like acromegaly or severe diarrhea associated with metastatic carcinoid tumor.
Furthermore, the patent also covers a method for administering oral octreotide to female subjects already using a combined oral contraceptive. In this case, the subject is counseled to use a back-up method of contraception or an alternative non-hormonal method. The composition of the oral dosage form remains the same, with the addition of counseling guidelines specific to subjects using combined oral contraceptives, particularly those containing levonorgestrel. The patent details the specific components of the composition, including the medium chain fatty acid salt, polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), and the hydrophobic medium, which can include glyceryl tricaprylate or castor oil, among others. The oral dosage form can be in the form of a capsule, which may be enterically coated for optimal delivery.
