Acromegaly is a rare disease, usually caused by a benign (non-cancerous) tumor, or growth, on the pituitary gland. The pituitary gland is a tiny organ in your brain. It makes many hormones, including growth hormone (GH). If you have acromegaly, the tumor on your pituitary gland causes your levels of GH to rise. High GH levels can lead to the production of too much IGF-I, which leads to signs and symptoms of acromegaly... See risks benefits. Discover SOMAVERT®, an FDA-approved Rx option for treating patients with acromegaly by normalizing IGF-I levels in the blood.
