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.
