Genotropin is a recombinant human growth hormone (also called somatotropin). It has the same structure as natural human growth hormone, which is needed for bone and muscle growth. It also helps to develop the right proportions of fat and muscle tissue. The term recombinant means that no human or animal tissue was used in the manufacturing process.
 
In children, Genotropin is used to treat the following growth disorders:
- Growth is not occurring properly or the body is not producing enough growth hormone;
- Turner syndrome: a genetic condition that affects girls and can affect growth - your doctor will tell you if you have this syndrome;
- Chronic renal failure. As the kidneys lose their ability to work properly, this can affect growth;
- Prader-Willi syndrome (a genetic condition). Growth hormone will help you to grow taller if you are still growing and will improve your body composition.
Excess fat will be reduced and (reduced) muscle mass will improve;
- Short stature or low birth weight. Growth hormone can help you to grow taller if you have not regained or maintained normal growth by the age of four or more.
 
In adults, Genotropin is used to treat people with severe growth hormone deficiency.
This may start in adulthood or continue from childhood.
If you were treated with Genotropin for growth hormone deficiency in childhood, your growth hormone levels will be re-evaluated after your growth has stopped. If growth hormone deficiency is confirmed, your doctor will suggest continuing treatment with Genotropin.
This medicine must be prescribed to you by a doctor experienced in growth hormone treatment who has confirmed your diagnosis.
