It is also suitable for

Usage and Dosage

Acromegaly: The initial dose is 0.05-0.1 mg subcutaneous injection once every 8 hours, and then the dose is adjusted based on monthly assessments of circulating GH concentrations, clinical responses and tolerance. Most patients should not exceed 1.5 mg/day. The dose can be reduced as appropriate after several months of treatment under the guidance of monitoring plasma GH levels. After 1 month of treatment with this product, if the GH concentration does not decrease and the clinical symptoms do not improve, the drug should be considered for discontinuation.
