Omnitrope is a recombinant human growth hormone (also called somatropin). It has the same structure as natural human growth hormone, which is needed for bone and muscle growth. It also helps to develop fat and muscle tissue in the right amounts.
It is recombinant, which means that it is not made from human or animal tissue.
 
In children, Omnitrope is used to treat the following growth disorders:
- Children who are not growing properly and do not have enough of their own growth hormone.
- Children with Turner syndrome. This is a genetic condition in girls that can affect growth
- your doctor will confirm whether it is present.
- Children with chronic renal failure. When the kidneys are not working properly, this can affect growth.
- Children who are short or have a low birth weight. Growth hormone can help to increase height if the growth spurt has not occurred or normal growth has not been maintained until the age of 4 years or later.
- Children with Prader-Willi syndrome (a chromosomal disorder). Growth hormone will help you grow taller and also improve your body composition. Excess fat will be reduced and muscle loss will be improved.
 
In adults, Omnitrope is used to:
- treat people with severe growth hormone deficiency. This deficiency may have started in adulthood or continued since childhood.
 
If you were treated with Omnitrope for growth hormone deficiency in childhood, your growth hormone levels will be tested again after your growth has finished. If severe growth hormone deficiency is confirmed, your doctor will propose
continuing treatment with Omnitrope.
 
This medicine should only be prescribed to you by a doctor experienced in growth hormone treatment who has confirmed your diagnosis.
