GENOTROPIN 16 IU 5.3MG 1 AMP/VIAL

Genotropin is synthetically produced somatropin. Somatropin is a pituitary hormone that is necessary for normal growth in children. The hormone is also important for, among other things, the breakdown of fats, carbohydrates and proteins, and is used to maintain normal body composition in both children and adults. Genotropin is used for growth disorders in children due to: Inhibited growth as a result of insufficient secretion of growth hormone. Growth disorders associated with Turner syndrome. Occurs only in women. Due to chromosomal defects (XO) with, among other things, short stature and insufficient pubertal development. Growth disorders as a result of chronic renal failure. Prader-Willi syndrome for improving growth and body composition. Can occur in both sexes. Due to chromosomal defects with, among other things, small external genitalia, delayed or incomplete puberty, increased appetite leading to obesity, short stature and mental retardation. Growth disorders in children with short height who were born small for gestational age (SGA). For adults, Genotropin is used in the treatment of pronounced growth hormone deficiency. This can occur in adulthood, or it can be a condition one has had since childhood. If you have been treated with Genotropin for growth hormone deficiency as a child, your growth hormone status should be retested after you have stopped growing. If severe growth hormone deficiency is detected, the doctor may recommend that you continue treatment with Genotropin.
