Dumping syndrome --> Octreotide (Somatostatin)

I've heard lately something 'bout that drug called "octreotide", which is given by injection to help a person with the dumping-syndrome. For I don't live in the US, but in Germany I'd like to know if that drug is receiveable here, too!

Thank you, Kati

I am on Octreotide for Carcinoid Syndrome, basically what it does is reduce the sysmptoms of gut and hormone problems.
