Hi,
Thank you for the query on this platform. I can understand your concern. According to your statement, you have been suffering from acromegaly. For your acromegaly, you have to take Somatuline Depot after some periods of interval.
It is used for the long term treatment of acromegaly. It works by reducing the growth hormone which the body produces.
There is no known interactions has found in between Somatuline Depot and Covid-19 vaccine. So, you can take both these injections at time or Somatuline Depot first, then Covid-19 vaccine or Covid-19 vaccine first, then Somatuline Depot.
You can take Covid-19 vaccine whenever you like, as it doesn't interact with Somatuline Depot.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
