Somatropin (recombinant)
Somatropin (recombinant) is a synthetic form of human growth hormone produced through genetic engineering. It is used to treat various conditions caused by growth hormone deficiency, such as certain growth disorders in children and adults, or muscle loss from disease. By mimicking the natural hormone, somatropin helps promote growth, cell repair, and overall development. It is administered via injection under medical supervision. While effective, it must be used carefully due to potential side effects and usually requires ongoing monitoring by a healthcare provider to ensure safety and proper dosage.
