HUMATROPE 

Humatrope Hgh is a biosynthetic human growth hormone. It is used in children who do not produce enough natural growth hormone, in girls who have Turner syndrome, in children with chronic renal insufficiency, and children born small for gestational age. HUMATROPE helps these children to grow at a natural rate.

Humatrope Hgh is available in cartridges and also in a HumatroPen® injection device and in vials for use with a syringe and needle. Injectable HGH from Humatrope is one of the most popular on the market.

The dosage MUST be based on your age, weight, medical condition, and response to treatment.

CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY

General:

Humatrope Pen for Linear Growth — Humatrope Hgh stimulates linear growth in pediatric patients who lack adequate normal endogenous growth hormone. In vitro, preclinical, and clinical testing have demonstrated that Humatrope is therapeutically equivalent to human growth hormone of pituitary origin and achieves equivalent pharmacokinetic profiles in normal adults.

Humatrope Hgh for Tissue Growth — Humatrope stimulates skeletal growth in pediatric patients with growth hormone deficiency. The measurable increase in body length after administration of either Humatrope or human growth hormone of pituitary origin results from an effect on the growth plates of long bones. Concentrations of IGF–1, which may play a role in skeletal growth, are low in the serum of growth hormone-deficient pediatric patients but increase during treatment with Humatrope Hgh

Humatrope Pen for Protein Metabolism — Linear growth is facilitated in part by increased cellular protein synthesis. Nitrogen retention, as demonstrated by decreased urinary nitrogen excretion and serum urea nitrogen, follows the initiation of therapy with human growth hormone of pituitary origin. Treatment with Humatrope results in a similar decrease in serum urea nitrogen.

Humatrope for Carbohydrate Metabolism — Pediatric patients with hypopituitarism sometimes experience fasting hypoglycemia that is improved by treatment with Humatrope. Large doses of human growth hormone may impair glucose tolerance. Untreated patients with Turner syndrome have an increased incidence of glucose intolerance.

Humatrope Pen for Lipid Metabolism — In growth hormone–deficient patients, administration of human growth hormone of pituitary origin has resulted in lipid mobilization, reduction in body fat stores, and increased plasma fatty acids.

Humatrope Hgh for Mineral Metabolism — Retention of sodium, potassium, and phosphorus is induced by the human growth hormone of pituitary origin. Serum concentrations of inorganic phosphate increased in patients with growth hormone deficiency after therapy with Humatrope or human growth hormone of pituitary origin. Serum calcium is not significantly altered in patients treated with either human growth hormone of the pituitary origin or Humatrope.
