Definition: Somatropin is a synthetic version of human growth hormone (hGH). It is designed to mimic the natural growth hormone produced by our bodies.
Function: Somatropin stimulates tissue growth, linear growth (height), and various metabolic processes, including protein, carbohydrate, lipid, and mineral metabolism.
Usage: It is primarily used to treat growth failure in both children and adults who lack sufficient natural growth hormone. Here are some specific scenarios where somatropin is prescribed:
Pediatric Use:
Children with short stature due to conditions like Noonan syndrome, Turner syndrome, or Prader-Willi syndrome.
Those born with short stature and no catch-up growth.
Adult Use:
Treating short bowel syndrome.
Preventing severe weight loss related to AIDS.
Dosage Forms: Somatropin is available in injectable kits (with varying strengths) and as injectable powder for injection.
Side Effects and Warnings:
Allergic Reactions: Seek emergency medical help if you experience hives, difficulty breathing, or swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Breathing Problems: Patients with Prader-Willi syndrome using somatropin may face serious breathing issues. If you have this syndrome, promptly contact your doctor if you notice signs like shortness of breath, coughing, or increased snoring.
Other Side Effects:
Pain, itching, or skin changes at the injection site.
Swelling and rapid weight gain.
Muscle or joint pain.
Numbness or tingling.
Stomach pain or gas.
Headache or back pain.
Cold or flu symptoms, sore throat, or ear pain.
Serious Adverse Effects: While rare, somatropin can lead to severe conditions such as pancreatitis, high blood sugar, increased pressure inside the skull, or adrenal gland problems. If you experience any of these, seek medical attention promptly.
