Dual Blockade in Acromegaly?

April 14, 2008

Medical treatment of Acromegaly has become feasible with long acting somatostatin analogues and GH receptor blockade.
Author concludes:
1) Disease control by medical therapy is now obtainable in almost all patients with acromegaly,
2) Long term data on the effects and side effects of combination therapy are still needed and
3) Should combination therapy be first choice to all patients who do not respond adequately to SA?
