Indications
Humatrope® (somatropin for injection) is used to treat:
Children who do not make enough growth hormone on their own, have short stature associated with Turner syndrome, or have SHOX deficiency; have idiopathic short stature, which means they are shorter than 98.8% of other children of the same age and sex, are growing at a rate not likely to allow them to reach normal adult height, and for whom no other cause of short stature can be found; were born smaller than normal for the number of weeks of pregnancy and who do not catch up in height by 2 to 4 years of age.
Adults who have growth hormone deficiency that began either in adulthood (as a result of pituitary disease, hypothalamic disease, surgery, radiation therapy, or trauma) or in childhood. Patients treated for growth hormone deficiency in childhood whose bones have stopped growing should be reevaluated to determine if they should continue growth hormone.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION FOR HUMATROPE
What is the most important information I should know about Humatrope?
Do not take Humatrope if you are having serious complications after having open heart surgery, abdominal surgery, or serious injuries involving many body systems, or are having life-threatening breathing problems. Deaths have been reported in such cases.
Do not use Humatrope in children with Prader-Willi syndrome who are severely obese or have a history of blocked upper airways or other severe breathing problems, or sleep apnea. Deaths have been reported in such cases. Humatrope is not approved for the treatment of patients with Prader-Willi syndrome.
Do not use Humatrope if you have active cancer. Growth hormone deficiency can be an early sign of some tumors in the brain or pituitary gland. The presence of these types of tumors should be ruled out by your doctor before you start Humatrope.
Serious allergic reactions have been reported with Humatrope. Humatrope is contraindicated if you know you have allergies to growth hormone or any of its ingredients. Tell your doctor if you have an allergic reaction. Do not mix Humatrope with the supplied diluent if you are allergic to metacresol or glycerin.
Your doctor should check your blood sugar regularly while you are taking Humatrope, especially if you have diabetes, pre-diabetes, or risk factors for diabetes. New cases of type 2 diabetes have been reported in patients taking Humatrope.
Tell your doctor if you have any visual changes accompanied by headache, nausea, and/or vomiting while taking Humatrope. This may be a sign of increased pressure in the brain.
Adults may retain water during Humatrope treatment. This may be brief and may increase with higher doses of Humatrope.
If you have hypoadrenalism and are on glucocorticoid replacement therapy, your doctor may increase your dosage when you initiate growth hormone treatment.
Your doctor should test your thyroid function periodically during Humatrope therapy. Thyroid hormone treatment may need to be started or adjusted.
Fracture in the ball of the hip joint can occur in children who have endocrine problems and in children who have rapid growth. Any child taking Humatrope who develops a limp or complains of hip or knee pain should be seen by a doctor to check for this.
Progression of curvature of the spine (scoliosis) can occur in children who have rapid growth. Humatrope has not been shown to increase the occurrence of this condition. If the child has scoliosis, the doctor should carefully monitor the progression of the scoliosis during Humatrope treatment.
Cases of pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas) have been reported rarely in children and adults receiving growth hormone. Consult a doctor if you develop abdominal pain while taking Humatrope.
You should rotate your injection sites to avoid breakdown of skin and fat. Seek prompt medical attention for any allergic reaction you experience to the injection of Humatrope.
WHO SHOULD NOT TAKE HUMATROPE
Who should not take Humatrope?
Humatrope should not be used by:
People with serious complications after having open heart surgery, abdominal surgery, serious injuries involving many body systems, or with life-threatening breathing problems
Children with Prader-Willi syndrome who are severely obese or have a history of severe breathing problems
People with active cancer
People who have had an allergic reaction to growth hormone
People with diabetic disease of the retina (the lining in the back of the eyeball)
Children who have closed growth plates in their bones
TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR
What should I tell my doctor before taking Humatrope?
Tell your doctor about all of your prescription and over the counter drugs, including cyclosporine, hormone replacement therapy, insulin or other diabetes medications, drugs containing steroids, or drugs for seizures. These medications may need to be adjusted while taking Humatrope.
COMMON SIDE EFFECTS
What are the possible side effects of Humatrope?
Common side effects reported in adults and children taking Humatrope include injection site reactions, allergic reactions to the diluent, and hypothyroidism. Additional common side effects in adults include swelling, joint pain, muscle pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, unusual skin sensations, and high blood sugar. You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch or call 1-800-FDA-1088.
STORING HUMATROPE
How should I store Humatrope?
Humatrope must be kept refrigerated (36° to 46°F [2° to 8°C]) before and after it is mixed. Do not freeze. Once Humatrope has been mixed and is in liquid form, cartridges must be used within 28 days and vials must be used within 14 days. Throw away any unused Humatrope in a cartridge after 28 days and in a vial after 14 days. Before giving an injection, check the manufacturer’s expiration date on the cartridge or vial. Do not use the cartridge or vial if it has expired.

Luke Russell –
I got humatrope to repair my muscles after working out. I tend to get sore from pushing myself but after only a few days, I seem to recover a little quicker. Normally I may be sore for a couple days but after taking humatrope, I only feel sore for a day, no more. I’m also stacking this and so far happy with the results.
Zarif –
So far so good , great buy !
Bryan Brown –
Finally something to fight the crash after working out. Regardless of whether it is because of preworkout, going hard in the gym should leave you exhausted. For me especially, this usually leads to a sudden mood drop within a couple hours of finishing, which is why I tend to go twice a day. humatrope not only got rid of the crash but sped up recovery so I was ready for the next workout in half the time. That led to better endurance and better overall workouts. In addition, my strength went up faster than I expected without excessive amounts of creatine.
Adam79er –
My metabolism refuses to let me gain weight, specifically muscle mass, so I guess I am a hard gainer. So I tried products out to see if one could make the difference; this one has made a serious difference, at first I thought maybe this or this, but I had to realize this was the only changed I made, or added to my workout routine and boom, big results.
