What is Genotropin?

Genotropin contains the prescription medicine somatropin. Genotropin is used for the treatment of growth failure in adults and children who do not produce natural growth hormones. Genotropin is a human growth hormone needed for the normal growth of muscles and bones in the body.

Genotropin is used for:

• Growth failure due to Turner syndrome
• Growth failure due to Prader-Willi syndrome
• Growth failure in children who are born small and do not show catch up growth by the age of 2 years
• In adults who have a lack of growth hormone, either on its own or in combination with other hormone deficiencies due to surgery, radiation treatment, pituitary or hypothalamic disease, or trauma
• Adults who lacked growth hormone in their childhood from birth, genetically, due to a disease or other unknown causes

Genotropin should not be used if you have cancer, diabetic retinopathy, or if you are being treated for Prader-Willi syndrome and you are overweight or have severe breathing difficulties. Genotropin should not be used if you have a serious illness due to lung failure or complications from recent surgery, injury, or medical trauma.

Genotropin active ingredients

In clinical tests, it has been shown that Genotropin has the same effect in normal adults as natural human growth hormone from the pituitary gland produced in the body. In children with growth hormone deficiency (GHD), Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS), small gestational age (SGA), Turner syndrome (TS), or have Idiopathic short stature (ISS), Genotropin has been shown to increase linear growth (musculoskeletal growth).

Genotropin also has the effect of reducing body fat mass, increasing lean body mass (an increase in both the number and size of muscle cells), and other beneficial metabolic changes in the body.
