Genotropin Pen
Genotropin Pen is an injection device delivering somatropin, a synthetic human growth hormone. It is used to treat growth failure in children with growth hormone deficiency and certain genetic conditions, as well as growth hormone deficiency in adults.
How is this medication used?
Inject the prescribed dose under the skin once daily, usually in the evening, rotating injection sites to avoid skin problems. Your doctor will determine the dose based on weight and treatment response, and will train you on how to use the pen device properly.
What are the possible side effects?
Common side effects include injection site reactions, headache, muscle or joint pain, swelling of the hands and feet, and carpal tunnel-like symptoms. Growth hormone can affect blood sugar, so glucose levels may be monitored in some patients.
What are the potential interactions?
Somatropin may affect how the body processes corticosteroids, insulin and other diabetes medications, and certain drugs metabolized by liver enzymes, including some hormone therapies. Tell your doctor about all medications you take so doses can be adjusted if needed.
