Pasireotide
Pasireotide is a medication used to treat certain hormonal disorders, such as Cushing's disease, by reducing the production of excess hormones like cortisol. It works by mimicking natural chemicals in the body called somatostatin, which regulate hormone secretion. By activating specific receptors, pasireotide helps control hormone levels, alleviating symptoms associated with hormone overproduction. It is typically given as an injection and is prescribed by a healthcare provider to manage these complex conditions.
