Injection sites for octreotide

If you are using octreotide for symptom control, there are several sites that you can use for injecting octreotide. Keep in mind, this is for short-acting Sandostatin (octreotide) not for long-acting Sandostatin LAR. This is a handy chart that diabetics use for injection of insulin. Sandostatin LAR is typically administered by a nurse in a clinical setting as it is a intermuscular shot.
