Genotropin 5MG
Genotropin 5MG is a form of recombinant human growth hormone that is identical to the growth hormone naturally produced by the human body.
In children, growth hormone deficiency can result in stunted growth and delayed puberty. Genotropin can be used to stimulate growth in children who are deficient in growth hormone. In adults, growth hormone deficiency can lead to a range of symptoms, including decreased bone density, decreased muscle mass, and increased body fat. Genotropin 5MG can be used to help reverse these symptoms.
The dosage and frequency of administration will depend on the individual’s specific condition and response to treatment.
Like all medications, Genotropin can cause side effects. Common side effects include injection site reactions, such as pain, swelling, and redness. Other possible side effects include headache, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, and joint pain.
