Description

−

Genotropin® is Pfizer’s brand of somatropin, the recombinant form of human growth hormone. Growth hormone is made by the pituitary gland, and it drives growth in childhood and helps keep muscle, bone and fat balanced in adulthood. Doctors prescribe Genotropin to children with growth hormone deficiency, Prader-Willi syndrome, Turner syndrome, short stature after being born small for gestational age and idiopathic short stature, and to adults with growth hormone deficiency. The 36 IU cartridge holds 12 mg of somatropin, which is mixed once at the start and used over several injections. Growth hormone is also discussed in sports and anti-aging circles for its effects on body composition and recovery, but that use isn’t approved.

Composition

Genotropin® 36 IU is recombinant human growth hormone, a protein that matches the natural hormone. It’s supplied as a freeze-dried powder with a solvent in a two-chamber cartridge. The two are mixed once, and the result is a solution of 12 mg (36 IU) per mL. The solution is given by injection under the skin, not into the muscle, and the body absorbs about 80 percent of it. It needs to be kept refrigerated.

Outcome

In children, it supports growth in height and normal development when the body doesn’t make enough growth hormone.
In adults with deficiency, it supports muscle mass, bone density and a healthier balance of body fat.
Raises IGF-1, the hormone that carries out most of the growth hormone’s effects.
Helps the body use fat for energy and build protein, which is why it’s discussed for body composition.
Supports tissue repair and recovery, according to sports and anti-aging literature.
Effects build slowly over weeks to months, not days.
Outside the approved medical uses, these are commonly discussed associations in community and research literature, not approved performance claims.

Side Effects

Pain, redness or swelling at the injection site.
Headache and tiredness.
Fluid retention, including swelling in the hands and feet, joint and muscle pain and carpal tunnel symptoms.
Raised blood sugar and a higher risk of insulin resistance or type 2 diabetes.
Low thyroid hormone levels, which doctors check during treatment.
In children, a limp or hip pain from a hip growth plate problem, and faster curving of the spine in scoliosis.
Increased pressure inside the skull, which can cause headache and vision changes.
Rarely, pancreatitis and antibodies to the hormone.
This is not a complete list and should not be treated as medical guidance.

Important Safety Information

Contraindications: Do not use it during acute critical illness, with an active cancer, with active proliferative or severe non-proliferative diabetic eye disease, or with a known allergy to somatropin or its ingredients. It should not be used in children whose growth plates have closed. In Prader-Willi syndrome, it should not be used in people with severe obesity, severe breathing problems or sleep apnea.
Common Side Effects: Injection-site reactions, headache, joint pain, swelling and tiredness.
Serious Risks: High blood sugar and diabetes, increased skull pressure, hip and spine problems in children, pancreatitis, and concerns about tumor growth in people with a history of cancer.
Medical Supervision: Genotropin is a prescription medicine. A doctor should guide its use, with regular checks of growth, blood sugar, thyroid function and IGF-1.
Drug Testing: Growth hormone is banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency.
Product Quality: Growth hormone is one of the most counterfeited products, and a pen or cartridge sold outside a pharmacy may not contain what the label says.

FAQ

What is Genotropin® 36 IU?

It is a Pfizer growth hormone product that contains 12 mg (36 IU) of somatropin in a two-chamber cartridge, given by injection under the skin.

What is Genotropin used for?

It’s used to treat growth failure in children caused by several conditions, such as growth hormone deficiency, Prader-Willi syndrome and Turner syndrome. It’s also used for growth hormone deficiency in adults.

Is Genotropin a steroid?

No. It’s a peptide hormone. Steroids work on androgen receptors, and growth hormone works through its own receptors and through IGF-1.

How long does Genotropin take to work?

Effects build slowly, over weeks to months. Doctors monitor growth and blood tests to judge the response.

Does growth hormone raise blood sugar?

It can. Growth hormone makes the body less sensitive to insulin, so blood sugar is checked during treatment.

Is Genotropin FDA approved?

Yes. Genotropin is approved by the FDA as a prescription medicine for the conditions listed above. Use outside those conditions, such as for performance or anti-aging, is not approved.

Is it legal without a prescription?

No. Genotropin is a prescription medicine, and non-prescribed use is regulated or prohibited in most countries.
