Hi Mr. lybrate-user,most of the chronic pancreatitis patients have stone in the pancreatic duct and also in the substance of pancreatic gland. The treatment of chronic pancreatitis depends upon the symptoms and associated complications. Most can be managed medically with pain killers, enzyme supplements etc. Octreotide has a very limited role in the management except when patients have a pancreatic fistula as a complication. Though it does not help in immediate resolution of fistula, it helps in management of output from fistula. .It has no effect on stone in the duct.
