📋Overview
Telotristat ethyl is a medication that helps reduce the production of serotonin in the body. It is primarily associated with the management of symptoms caused by certain neuroendocrine tumors, particularly those that lead to carcinoid syndrome. By targeting serotonin synthesis, it addresses issues such as severe diarrhea that can occur with these tumors. This drug is used in specific cases where standard therapies may not sufficiently control symptoms.
