What is Humatrope?

Humatrope is a man-made version of human growth hormone. It’s prescribed to:

• Children and adolescents who don’t produce enough growth hormone naturally
• Children and adolescents who are below the minimum usual height for their age and who are unlikely to grow to an adult height within the usual range (Idiopathic Short Stature)
• Children and adolescents who are below the minimum usual height for their age and who have Turner Syndrome
• Children and adolescents who are below the minimum usual height for their age and who have short-stature homeobox gene (SHOX) deficiency 
• Children who were born prematurely, who are below the minimum usual height for their age, and who are unlikely to meet the minimum height between two to four years of age
• Adults who don’t produce enough growth hormone naturally

If you have one of the above conditions, or you don’t have enough growth hormone for another reason, you may be prescribed Humatrope. It’s a medication that contains human growth hormone and can help if your growth is affected. You take Humatrope by injecting it under your skin (subcutaneous injection) using a pre-filled, self-injecting HumatroPen. It can also be injected using a standard syringe. 

Humatrope active ingredients

The active ingredient in Humatrope is the human growth hormone, also called somatotropin. The somatotropin in Humatrope is made using recombinant DNA technology, but it’s the same as the human growth hormone naturally made in your body. It helps to regulate how your cells develop and grow in just the same way. When you inject Humatrope, the somatotropin it contains stimulates growth in the cells in your spine and in the bones in your legs. This causes you to grow taller.
