How do I take HUMATROPE?

Somatropin injection is available as different brands:

  • Genotropin, HUMATROPE, Norditropin, Nutropin AQ, Omnitrope, Saizen, and Zomacton
  • Each brand contains a different amount of somatropin and has different administration instructions, so they are not interchangeable. Each brand also has specific dosing that’s based on the condition you’re being treated for. So, your provider will determine the right dose for you or your child
  • Growth-related conditions in children: The dose is based on your child’s body weight. The medication is injected under the skin either 3, 6, or 7 days a week. How often your child needs medication depends on the condition your child has and the brand medication that’s used. If needed, your provider might adjust the dose based on how your child responds to the medication
  • Low growth hormone in adults: There are two different ways the medication is dosed for adults. Some providers choose the dose based on your weight. Other providers might choose to start low and slowly raise the dose depending on how you respond to treatment. This medication is commonly injected under the skin once a day
