Formulation Sterile-filtered white lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder. The Octreotide was lyophilized from a concentrated (1 mg/ml) solution with no additives. Reconstitution It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Octreotide in sterile 18MΩ-cm H2O not less than 100 µg/ml, which can then be furthe
