• Contraindications: Not suitable for individuals with active cancer, acute illness, or those who have a history of tumors. It is also contraindicated for severe respiratory illness or uncontrolled diabetes.
• Tumor Risk: As growth hormone stimulates cell growth, it may increase the risk of tumor formation. Patients should be evaluated for the presence of tumors before starting treatment.
