Function and Efficacy

This product is a human growth hormone produced by genetically engineered mammalian cells. It can promote bone growth, increase myocardial contractility, promote protein synthesis, increase nitrogen storage in the body, increase fat oxidation and gluconeogenesis, improve nutrient conversion rate, regulate the immune system, and enhance immune defense capabilities.

Ingredients

Main ingredient: recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH). This product is produced by DNA recombination technology and is a protein composed of 191 amino acid residues. Excipients: glycine, mannitol

Appearance

This product is white freeze-dried powder.

Indication

It is used for growth hormone deficiency in children and adults, Turner's syndrome, growth failure caused by chronic renal failure in children, hypermetabolic state (negative nitrogen balance) after surgery and trauma, burns, and sepsis.

Usage and Dosage

Intramuscular or subcutaneous injection, the dosage depends on the condition. Dwarfism: 0.6-0.8IU/kg per week, subcutaneous injection. Turner syndrome: 1.0IU/kg per week or 28IU per square meter of body surface, subcutaneous injection.
