Re: any child on genotropin?

[Guest guest]

Hi Stella!!

My grandson, , uses Genotropin. Dr H said that it isn't a brand of GH

that she normally prescribes, but that it was fine to use. She, also, warned

us to use the Genotropin with the mixer, and a syringe and Inject-ease,

instead of the pen device, so that we could get more exact dosing.

Hope this helps!!

Stella, the good news is that virtually all of the growth hormone

brands are biosynthetically identical. Different doctors choose

different brands probably based more on the relationship they have

with their sales rep, and their bridge programs. So don't worry too

much about the " brand " of Genotropin itself. The key thing is that

each pharmaceutical company has bridge programs, let's say you have

a change in insurance and with the delay in processing, you might

run out of GH. Your GH company will usually ship you a free month's

supply -- and your doctor can organize this for you (hence going

with who your doctor has a relationship with is KEY).
