Description

Uses of Medicine:

Somatropin 5 mg/12 mg injection is a recombinant human growth hormone drug (hGH). Patients, Healthcare Professionals (HCP), or Hospitals can buy Somatropin 5 mg/12 mg Injections online from India through THE INDIAN PHARMA (a trusted Somatropin Supplier, Exporter, and Contract Manufacturer in India) for the management and treatment of: 
  • children with growth failure due to growth hormone deficiency (GHD), Prader-Willi syndrome, Small for Gestational Age, Turner syndrome, and Idiopathic Short Stature 
  • adults with either adult-onset or childhood-onset GHD
Somatropin 5 mg/12 mg injection is a recombinant human growth hormone (hGH). It is widely used to treat growth-related disorders in children. This therapeutic drug is prescribed for children with growth hormone deficiency, chronic kidney disease (CKD) that affects growth, Turner’s syndrome (a chromosomal disorder in girls), Prader-Willi syndrome, and children who haven’t started normal growth by the age of four. This therapeutic drug functions by facilitating cell multiplication and cell division, which helps in normal height development and metabolism. This type of treatment can remarkably enhance a child’s quality of life (QoL) by enabling them to achieve a healthy height and appropriate body proportions.

Before commencing treatment with Somatropin 5 mg/12 mg injection, notify your physician if your child has an allergy to somatropin, sodium, or any other component of the injection. Use caution in children with a past medical history of cancer, diabetes, hypothyroidism, adrenal gland disorders, or sleep apnea. Further caution is also warranted in individuals with severe obesity, upper airway obstruction, or scoliosis. Children with Prader-Willi syndrome and these risk factors are likely to suffer serious side effects. Always follow your physician’s instructions on dosage and treatment duration to achieve the desired results.

While using Somatropin 5 mg/12 mg injections, or any other formulations of somatropin, the prescribing clinician may periodically monitor blood glucose, thyroid, adrenal hormones, and blood count. These tests help to make sure that your child is responding safely to the therapy without any complications.

In case you’re pregnant, looking to get pregnant, or breastfeeding, consult your healthcare professional (HCP) before using this medicine. Somatropin injection should only be used under professional medical supervision. It is necessary to attend regular checkups to monitor growth progress and avoid any side effects. 

Dosage & Side Effects:

The weekly recommended dosage of Somatropin injection should be divided into 6 or 7 subcutaneous (SC) injections. It must not be injected intravenously. The recommended dosage is as follows:
  • Pediatric GHD: 0.16 to 0.24 mg/kg/week 
  • Prader-Willi Syndrome: 0.24 mg/kg/week 
  • Small for Gestational Age: Up to 0.48 mg/kg/week 
  • Turner Syndrome: 0.33 mg/kg/week 
  • Idiopathic Short Stature: up to 0.47 mg/kg/week 
  • Adult GHD: Either a non-weight-based or a weight-based dosing regimen may be followed, with doses adjusted based on treatment response and IGF-I concentrations. The starting non-weight-based dosing of approximately 0.2 mg/day (range, 0.15 to 0.30 mg/day) may be used without consideration of body weight, and increased gradually every 1 to 2 months by increments of approximately 0.1 to 0.2 mg/day. The recommended weight-based initial dosing is not more than 0.04 mg/kg weekly; the dose may be increased as tolerated to not more than 0.08 mg/kg weekly at 4 to 8 week intervals. 
 

The most common side effects of Somatropin are injection site reactions/rashes and lipoatrophy, and headaches.

Warning and Precautions

  • Acute respiratory failure and postoperative complications pose an increased risk of death and should not be treated with Somatropin. If treatment is absolutely necessary under these dire conditions, the patient will need to be monitored very closely.
  • This therapeutic drug is not recommended for children with Prader-Willi syndrome who are severely obese or have critical breathing complications, as it may be responsible for causing sudden death. Careful assessment and sleep apnea evaluation are required before use.
  • There may be a higher chance of new tumors developing or the return of old cancers with the use of growth hormone therapy. Patients with a history of cancer require careful surveillance through the course of treatment for any signs of tumor recurrence or novel development.
  • Use of this therapeutic drug may cause increased pressure inside the skull. This may lead to nausea, headaches, or vision changes. Regular eye checks and monitoring for signs and symptoms of intracranial hypertension are recommended, mainly during the initial phase of treatment.
  • Serious allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis, may develop with the use of this medicine. Patients with known allergies must be treated with caution. Discontinue this treatment immediately in case signs like rash, swelling, or breathing problems are noticed, and seek emergency care.
  • Somatropin 5 mg/12 mg injection may cause fluid retention. This could result in inflammation, arthritic pain, and carpal tunnel syndrome. Older people and those taking high doses are at greater risk. Regularly monitor scales with supervised medical care and symptom management, along with dosage adjustments as per the requirement.
  • Adrenal glands may be influenced by growth hormone therapies. An existing condition of adrenal insufficiency is likely to require altered doses of steroids. Regular monitoring of cortisol levels is necessary, especially for patients undergoing periods of heightened stress, going through surgery, or who are sick.
  • Unmasking or worsening an underactive thyroid is a risk from somatropin. Treatment effectiveness may be diminished by insufficient thyroid activity. Thyroid levels require monitoring alongside replacement therapy while on growth hormone therapy. Monitoring thyroid levels becomes necessary.
  • Lipoatrophy, or the loss of fat under the skin tissue, may occur when repeated injections are done in the same area. To prevent this complication, spacing out injection rotations will help. This will also guarantee equal hormone absorption throughout all treated areas.
  • Somatropin use may rarely cause pancreatitis, mainly in children. Signs and symptoms include nausea, severe stomach pain, and vomiting. Discontinue treatment and seek immediate medical attention in case pancreatitis is suspected during therapy.
