Re: Question about Nutropin

[Guest guest]

,

Hi. is also supposed to be starting on Nutropin. Dr. H emailed

me to ask if this was okay or what my thoughts where and I told her I

was concerned about the needles, etc. She told me that you can use the

Inject-ease with the Nutropin, so that is why we went that route. She

also thought this would be good for because we weren't going to

be able to use the pen devices.

hope that helps you out,

It doesn't matter which GH you are using. The inject ease is for any time

you are giving a needle to a child. It just hides the needle. The only time

you couldn't/wouldn't use inject ease is if you have the pen devise (the

needle is already hidden then).

So don't worry, if you are given any type of GH that requires you to

actually draw the medicine from a vial and insert it into a syringe, then

you have the option of using an inject ease.

, with almost any growth hormone, you can still use a syringe

to draw up the medicine, and then use the Eli Lilly product, the

Injectease. The Injectease is simply a device -- not related to the

actual brand of growth hormone used. (well, probably most people who

use it also use Humatrope GH, but it isn't required).

So yes, you could use Nutropin in a vial; draw up the GH in a syringe

and then drop the syringe into the Injectease.

Just tell your supplier, pharmacist, doctor (who may actually have a

free sample one) that you want to use syringes and use the Eli Lilly

Injectease, in addition to the Nutropin GH.

Hi ,

Jonah may also be starting GH in November. We have an appointment with Dr.

H. in a few weeks. She told us that we would not be using a high enough

dose of GH to use the pen, but the inject ease. We are very nervous too..

My son, Jack started w/ Nutropin at 2 1/2 and he has been on it for over a year.

I initially was terrified of giving him the shots. I started a routine fromm

the start. We have a " shot chair " (because otherwise I would have been chasing

him and it is a place that is not loaded--not where he eats or does something

else). We also do it after dinner or his bath when he has been in " rest " mode

and isn't as active as usual. He has some control too. He gets to tell me

which arm. I was giving it to him in the arms and legs but he found the legs to

be less comfortable and I couldn't bring myself to do his abdomen or butt

(especially if he was scared I didn't want to restrain his in this way). In any

event, the beginning (for few weeks) was tough but after that we were both fine.

I got better at it and he got better at accepting it. One thing that helped me

was that I watched my dad (a doctor) do it a few times because I wasn't pricking

him hard enough and I was doing it too

slowly. Is there a doctor that would be willing to show you a few times or

watch you do it once? The other thing that I forgot to mention, is that Jack

does get to choose a toy to bring w/ him when he gets his shot so that he can

make some choices, too. Anyway sorry that this is so long. I hope that it is

helpful.

Rest assured that it will be OK and keep reminding yourself that you are doing

it to help him.

Hi heather,

My son Jordan has been on Nutropin since 11/03 and is using the injectease.

I love using it since it hides the needle and all you have to do is click a

button and press on the syringe. I find it very easy to use and recommend it.
