Brand: Novo Nordisk
Norditropin® FlexPro® is Novo Nordisk’s brand of somatropin, supplied in a prefilled pen. The 15 mg pen is the green one in the range, with 5 mg, 10 mg, 15 mg and 30 mg versions available. In the Novo Nordisk leaflet, 1 mg of somatropin is equal to 3 IU, so this pen holds 45 IU. Doctors prescribe Norditropin to children with growth failure from growth hormone deficiency, short stature linked to Turner or Noonan syndrome, and other growth conditions, and to adults with growth hormone deficiency. The pen is for a single patient, and it can’t be refilled or shared. Growth hormone is also discussed in sports and anti-aging circles, but that use isn’t approved.
Norditropin® FlexPro® is recombinant human growth hormone, a protein that matches the natural hormone and is made in E. coli bacteria. Unlike powder products, it’s a clear, colorless liquid that’s ready to inject. Each mL contains 10 mg of somatropin, and the pen holds 1.5 mL. It’s given under the skin, using a thin disposable needle. Unused pens need to be kept in the fridge and away from light.
