How XERMELO works

XERMELO pills + somatostatin analog (SSA) injections work together to reduce excess serotonin and manage carcinoid syndrome diarrhea (CSD)

Even with SSA therapy, you may still experience CSD. XERMELO targets serotonin in a different way.

SSA blocks release of serotonin outside the cell

Unlike antidiarrheal medications, XERMELO targets a key cause of CSD, which is too much serotonin in the gut.
