Benefits of A Tide Injection
In Acromegaly
Acromegaly is a condition that is caused by overproduction of growth hormone from the pituitary gland. A Tide 100mg Injection helps to reduce the increased levels of growth hormone, restores them to normal and therefore prevents complication of acromegaly such as diabetes or heart diseases. It is given as an injection by a doctor or nurse and should not be self-administered.
In Carcinoid tumours
Carcinoid tumors are slow growing abnormal masses that occur in several parts of the body, chiefly, intestine, pancreas, colon, rectum, lungs etc. These tumors occur due to oversecretion of certain hormones in our body. A Tide 100mg Injection helps reduce these hormone levels to normal range and prevents further complications. Follow your doctor’s instructions to get maximum benefit.
