Description

−

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.



Composition

+

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.

Outcome

+
  • In children, supports growth in height when the body doesn’t make enough growth hormone or when conditions like Turner syndrome limit growth.
  • In adults with deficiency, replaces the missing hormone to support muscle mass, bone density and a healthier balance of body fat.
  • Raises IGF-1, the hormone that carries out most of growth hormone’s effects.
  • The prefilled pen is built for easy, consistent injections, which helps people stick to treatment.
  • Effects build slowly over weeks to months, and doctors judge the response with growth checks and blood tests.
  • Outside the approved medical uses, these are commonly discussed associations in community and research literature, not approved performance claims.

Side Effects

+
  • Headache, tiredness and injection-site reactions such as redness, pain or small lumps.
  • Swelling of the hands and feet, joint and muscle pain, and numbness or tingling in the hands.
  • A rise in blood sugar and insulin resistance, which is why sugar levels are checked.
  • Low thyroid hormone levels in some people.
  • In children, a limp or hip pain, and faster curving of the spine in those with scoliosis.
  • Increased pressure inside the skull, which can cause severe headache, nausea and vision changes.
  • Rarely, pancreatitis, which can show up as stomach pain.
  • 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 or severe breathing problems.
  • Common Side Effects: Headache, injection-site reactions, 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.
  • Single-Patient Pen: Each pen is for one person only. It must never be shared, even if the needle is changed.
  • Storage: Unused pens should be kept in a fridge at 2°C to 8°C and not frozen. After the first use, a pen can stay in the fridge for up to 4 weeks, or at room temperature for up to 3 weeks.
  • Medical Supervision: Norditropin 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.
