Abstract: This invention relates to methods of administering oral octreotide therapy to a female subject relating to avoidance of combined oral contraceptives or use of a back-up method for contraception.

Abstract: This invention relates to methods of co-administering oral octreotide and digoxin or lisinopril to a subject in need thereof.

Abstract: This invention relates to combination therapy of a subject suffering from acromegaly. The method of treatment comprises administration to the subject of a therapeutically effective amount of oral somatostatin receptor ligand (SRL) e.g. octreotide in combination with a therapeutically effective amount of a dopamine agonist and/or a growth hormone receptor antagonist and/or a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) and/or a 2nd somatostatin receptor ligand (SRL).

Abstract: This invention relates to methods of administering oral octreotide therapy to a female subject relating to avoidance of combined oral contraceptives or use of a back-up method for contraception.

Abstract: The present invention relates to oral therapy of a subject suffering from disease e.g. polycystic disease e.g. polycystic kidney disease or polycystic liver disease or PCOS or hypotension especially neurogenic orthostatic hypotension and postprandial hypotension, or intractable diarrhea or neuroendocrine tumors or carcinoid syndrome. The method of treatment comprises oral administration to the subject of a therapeutically effective amount of an oral somatostatin receptor ligand (SRL) e.g. oral octreotide. Combination therapy of oral SRLs with other drugs is also envisaged, e.g. octreotide in combination with a therapeutically effective amount of a second therapeutic agent and optionally in combination with a therapeutically effective amount of a third therapeutic agent.
