What is Humatrope (somatropin for injection)?
Humatrope Injection: Humatrope is a man-made form of human growth hormone. It was first approved in 1987 to treat children who are growing slowly because they do not make enough growth hormone on their own.
Humatrope is available in 6 mg, 12 mg, and 24 mg cartridges for use in a HumatroPen® injection device.
Who is Humatrope for?
Humatrope® (somatropin for injection) is used to treat children who are short or growing slowly because they:
- Do not make enough growth hormone on their own
- Have Turner Syndrome
- Have idiopathic short stature, which means they are shorter than 98.8% of other children of the same age and sex, are growing at a rate not likely to allow them to reach normal adult height
- Have SHOX deficiency
- Were born smaller than normal for the number of weeks of pregnancy and do not catch up in height by 2 to 4 years of age
Humatrope is used to treat adults who have growth hormone deficiency.
Do not take Humatrope if you are having serious complications after having open heart surgery, abdominal surgery, or serious injuries involving many body systems, or are having life-threatening breathing problems. Deaths have been reported in such cases.
How does Humatrope work?
Humatrope is a man-made form of growth hormone. Growth hormone is essential for growth—made by the pituitary gland (located at the base of the brain), then released into the bloodstream, where it travels to the body’s tissues. Here it stimulates production of another hormone important for growth, called insulin-like growth factor 1, or IGF-1. Growth hormone works to stimulate growth, in large part due to its effect in producing IGF-1.
What can I expect?
Although results may be different for everyone, Humatrope has data from clinical studies to help support treatment decisions. Throughout treatment, help your child remember that growth is a gradual process that takes time, even with treatment. Talk with your doctor about setting realistic expectations for your child’s treatment, and include your child in the conversation. Helping a child understand what to expect may help them stay motivated to continue therapy. Saizen Somatropin Injection
