Humatrope contains recombinant human growth hormone. It is used to treat the symptoms of growth hormone deficiency in adults and growth failure (short stature) in children that can be caused by disorders of the pituitary gland, or hypothalamus.
It is a white powder that requires reconstitution into a solution. Once reconstituted, the medication must be injected subcutaneously. Avoid freezing, heating, shaking, forcefully tapping, or exposing the medication to direct sunlight.
The medication may have dose-dependent adverse effects such as headache, joint pain, muscle pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, peripheral edema, thyroid problems, high blood sugar, and insulin resistance. Hypersensitive patients may develop allergic reactions.
Notify your doctor if you have any other chronic conditions and if you take any medications. This information is a summary and does not represent medical advice. It does not replace medical counseling with your healthcare provider.
