Somatropin 6mg Injection
What is Somatropin
Somatropin is a synthetic form of human growth hormone (HGH), essential for the development of bones and muscles.
It is used to treat growth deficiencies in both children and adults who do not produce enough natural growth hormone. This includes individuals with conditions such as Turner syndrome, Prader-Willi syndrome, being born small for gestational age without subsequent catch-up growth, and other growth-related disorders.
Somatropin is given as subcutaneous (under-the-skin) injections using a pen device, cartridge, or vials.
How Does It works
Somatropin mimics the action of natural growth hormone by binding to specific cell receptors and triggering biological responses that support growth and metabolism.
In children, it promotes normal growth and development. In adults, it helps regulate metabolism and supports the health of bones, muscles, and other tissues.
