F.L.A.G. your carcinoid syndrome diarrhea (CSD) symptoms:
- Frequent bowel
movements (BMs) - Limiting activities
outside of the home - Active uncontrolled
or urgent diarrhea - Growing use of antidiarrheals or losing symptom relief with SSAs
Unlike antidiarrheal medications, XERMELO targets a key cause of CSD.
Even though you are being treated with long-acting somatostatin analog (SSA) injections, such as octreotide and lanreotide, you can still experience CSD. That’s why your healthcare provider may be ready to add XERMELO, a prescription pill, to your treatment plan.

The more specific you can be about your symptoms, experiences, and feelings, the better. The questions below can help you and your doctor explore other ways to help manage your CSD.
