Hygetropin 100 IU l 1 Box

Product Details:

• Brand Name: Hygetropin
• Form: Lyophilized powder for injection
• Strength: 100 IU per vial
• Active Ingredient: Somatropin (recombinant human growth hormone)
• Administration Route: Subcutaneous injection
• Indications: Treatment of growth hormone deficiency, Turner syndrome, chronic kidney disease, and other growth-related conditions.

How It Works:

• Somatropin mimics the action of natural growth hormone produced by the pituitary gland. It stimulates growth and regeneration of tissues, promoting the growth of bones, muscles, and internal organs.
• In individuals with growth hormone deficiency, the body does not produce enough growth hormone, leading to impaired growth and development. Hygetropin compensates for this deficiency, stimulating growth and improving metabolism.

Who Should Use It?

• Children with growth hormone deficiency or those experiencing slow growth due to genetic disorders like Turner syndrome.
• Adults with growth hormone deficiency, which may be associated with aging, certain diseases, or pituitary gland issues.
• Individuals with conditions such as chronic kidney disease that impact normal growth.

Usage Instructions:

• Preparation: The powder needs to be reconstituted with bacteriostatic water (usually supplied with the product) before injection.
• Injection: Administered via subcutaneous injection (usually in the thigh, abdomen, or upper arm).
• Dosage: The specific dosage depends on the individual’s condition, weight, and medical needs. Typically, a healthcare provider will determine the exact dose and injection frequency.
• Storage: Once reconstituted, the solution should be stored in the refrigerator (2–8°C) and used within a few weeks.

Warnings & Precautions:

• Regular Monitoring: Regular blood tests and medical checkups are necessary to monitor for side effects and ensure effective treatment.
• Side Effects: Some individuals may experience swelling, joint pain, headaches, or carpal tunnel syndrome.
• Risk of Tumor Growth: As growth hormone stimulates cell growth, it may exacerbate underlying tumors. It should not be used in individuals with a history of cancer or active cancer.
• Contraindications: Not recommended for individuals with active infections, severe respiratory illness, or non-functioning pituitary glands unless advised by a healthcare provider.

Storage Instructions:

• Before reconstitution: Store unopened vials in the refrigerator (2–8°C).
• After reconstitution: Store the reconstituted solution in the refrigerator and use it within the time frame specified by the manufacturer (usually 2–3 weeks).
