Somatuline Depot (Lanreotide) Frequently Asked Questions
What is Somatuline Depot (lanreotide) copay assistance?

Somatuline Depot copay assistance is financial help that lowers what you pay out of pocket for lanreotide injections. Depending on your insurance, it can come from a manufacturer copay card, a patient assistance program or a foundation grant.

QuickRx patient navigators check which of these you qualify for and apply on your behalf, so you do not have to manage the paperwork alone. Call (917) 830-2525 to get started.

Who qualifies for Somatuline Depot copay assistance?

Eligibility depends mostly on your insurance type. In general:

  • Commercial (private) insurance: you may qualify for a manufacturer copay card. Eligible patients may pay $0.
  • Medicare or Medicaid: manufacturer copay cards are not available, but you may qualify for foundation grants.
  • Uninsured, or insurance that does not cover lanreotide: you may qualify for a patient assistance program that provides medication at no cost.

You will also need a valid prescription and US residency. A QuickRx navigator can review your situation in one call.

Eligibility is set by each program sponsor. Not all patients qualify, and programs may change or close at any time.

Does QuickRx charge a fee to help with copay assistance?

No. QuickRx never charges a service fee for copay assistance navigation. Our navigators screen your eligibility, prepare and submit applications, handle appeals and keep your assistance renewed at no cost to you.

How much does Somatuline Depot (lanreotide) cost?

Before insurance, a single Somatuline Depot injection lists at roughly $8,000 to $12,600 depending on the strength, and generic lanreotide 120 mg lists between about $3,800 and $11,400.

What Somatuline Depot Costs Before Insurance
Product and Strength Price per Injection
Somatuline Depot 60 mg/0.2 mL $8,031.60
Somatuline Depot 90 mg/0.3 mL $10,695.60
Somatuline Depot 120 mg/0.5 mL $12,613.20
Generic lanreotide 120 mg/0.5 mL $3,777.46–$11,352.00
Average Wholesale Price (AWP) from Lexidrug (Medi-Span), last updated October 2, 2026. AWP is a reference price only. What you pay depends on your insurance plan and the assistance you qualify for.

Because injections are usually given every 4 weeks, these costs repeat throughout treatment. That is why applying for every assistance option you qualify for matters.

Can Medicare patients get help paying for Somatuline Depot?

Yes, Medicare patients can get help, though not through manufacturer copay cards. The federal Anti-Kickback Statute keeps manufacturers from offering copay cards to people with Medicare, Medicaid or other government insurance.

Medicare patients may instead qualify for independent foundation grants for acromegaly or neuroendocrine tumors, or for Medicare Extra Help. QuickRx navigators check which funds are open and apply for you.

Foundation funds open and close based on available funding. Not all patients qualify.

What if I do not have insurance?

Uninsured patients, or patients whose insurance does not cover lanreotide, may qualify for a manufacturer patient assistance program that provides the medication at no cost. These programs usually require proof of income. A QuickRx navigator can walk you through what is needed and submit the application on your behalf.

Eligibility and income limits are set by the program sponsor.

Is there a generic version of Somatuline Depot?

Yes. Generic lanreotide is available in the United States in a 120 mg/0.5 mL strength, according to Lexidrug. Brand Somatuline Depot comes in 60 mg, 90 mg and 120 mg strengths. Your prescriber decides which product and strength is right for you, and QuickRx can help you find assistance for either.

What is Somatuline Depot (lanreotide) used for?

Somatuline Depot is a somatostatin analog used to treat three conditions in adults, according to Lexidrug:

  • Acromegaly: long-term treatment when surgery or radiation has not worked well enough, or is not an option.
  • Gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NETs): to improve progression-free survival in tumors that cannot be removed by surgery and are well or moderately differentiated.
  • Carcinoid syndrome: to reduce how often short-acting rescue medication is needed.

Lanreotide works by mimicking somatostatin, a natural hormone. In acromegaly it lowers growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1).

How is Somatuline Depot given?

Somatuline Depot is given as a deep subcutaneous injection into the upper outer area of the buttock, injected slowly over about 20 seconds. The side alternates between right and left with each dose. It is usually given every 4 weeks, though some acromegaly patients who are stable may move to every 6 or 8 weeks.

The sealed pouch is taken out of the refrigerator 30 minutes before the injection so it can reach room temperature. Source: Lexidrug.

Your prescriber sets your dose and schedule. Do not change your dose or skip injections without talking to your prescriber first.

Does kidney or liver disease change the Somatuline Depot dose?

It can for acromegaly. According to Lexidrug, acromegaly patients with reduced kidney function (creatinine clearance under 60 mL/minute) or moderate to severe liver impairment usually start at 60 mg every 4 weeks, and extended-interval dosing is used with caution. The label gives no dose adjustment for carcinoid syndrome or GEP-NETs.

Dosing is decided by your prescriber based on your lab results. Do not change your dose on your own.

What are the common side effects of Somatuline Depot?

The most common side effects listed in Lexidrug include:

  • Diarrhea, loose stools, stomach pain, nausea and vomiting
  • Gallstones or gallbladder sludge
  • Reactions where the shot was given, such as pain, a lump, itching or swelling
  • Muscle and joint pain
  • Headache and dizziness
  • High blood pressure and slow heartbeat
  • High or low blood sugar

Tell your doctor if any side effect bothers you or does not go away.

What serious warnings should I know about?

Get medical help right away if you notice signs of these problems listed in Lexidrug:

  • Gallbladder problems: pain in the upper right belly, right shoulder or between the shoulder blades, yellow skin or eyes, fever with chills
  • Pancreatitis: very bad stomach or back pain, or severe vomiting
  • Blood sugar changes: unusual thirst, frequent urination, fruity breath, shaking, sweating or confusion
  • Slow heartbeat: dizziness, passing out, feeling very tired or short of breath
  • Fat malabsorption: loose, pale, oily stools with bloating and weight loss
  • Allergic reaction: rash, hives, trouble breathing, or swelling of the face, lips, tongue or throat
Does Somatuline Depot interact with other medications?

Yes. Tell your doctor and pharmacist about every medicine and supplement you take. Interactions listed in Lexidrug include:

  • Insulin and other diabetes medicines, since lanreotide can raise or lower blood sugar
  • Medicines that slow the heart rate
  • Cyclosporine, bromocriptine and codeine
  • Gallium Ga 68 dotatate PET scans, which should be timed just before a lanreotide dose
  • Lutetium Lu 177 dotatate treatment, which requires stopping long-acting somatostatin analogs at least 4 weeks before
What monitoring is needed during treatment?

According to Lexidrug, your care team may check:

  • Growth hormone and IGF-1 levels at 3 months and as needed (acromegaly)
  • Blood sugar, especially if you have diabetes
  • Heart rate
  • Thyroid function, if your doctor sees a need
  • Gallbladder symptoms
Can I take Somatuline Depot while pregnant or breastfeeding?

Talk to your doctor before treatment if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy or breastfeeding. According to Lexidrug, the manufacturer does not recommend breastfeeding during treatment and for 6 months after the last dose. In acromegaly, treatment can restore fertility, so patients who could become pregnant should use effective birth control.

How should Somatuline Depot be stored?

Store Somatuline Depot in the refrigerator at 36°F to 46°F (2°C to 8°C), in its original package to protect it from light. Do not freeze it. A sealed pouch left at room temperature (under 104°F) for up to 72 hours may go back in the refrigerator for later use. Source: Lexidrug.
