| | HGH: HUMAN GROWTH HORMONE Human Growth Hormone is the largest protein produced by the pituitary gland made up of 191 amino acids. Proteins are made of building blocks known as amino acids. HGH is genetically engineered of the same 191 amino acids. It’s the same genetic engineering they use for insulin. They cloned the 191 amino acids and put them together in the same exact sequence of the DNA for that of HGH. It’s 100% identical, physically, chemically and biologically to the one made by the pituitary gland. |

 Human Growth Hormones (HGH) Therapy Products
|
| |
GENOTROPIN®
|
GENOTROPIN® is human growth hormone replacement therapy that can be used to help compensate for low levels of growth hormone. GENOTROPIN® is exactly like the natural growth hormone produced by the body's pituitary gland.
Growth hormone deficiency (GHD) in adults and growth failure in children. Find out more about the symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment of these conditions, along with general information about GENOTROPIN® and delivery devices for GENOTROPIN®. |
HUMATROPE®
|
Humatrope ® (Somatropin, rDNA Origin, for Injection) is a polypeptide hormone ofrecombinant DNA origin. Humatrope has 191 amino acid residues and a molecular weight of about 22,125 daltons. The amino acid sequence of the product is identical to that of human growth hormone of pituitary origin. Humatrope is synthesized in a strain of Escherichia coli thathas been modified by the addition of the gene for human growth hormone. Humatrope is a sterile, white, lyophilized powder intended for subcutaneous or intramuscular administration after reconstitution. Humatrope is a highly purified preparation. Phosphoric acid and/or sodium hydroxide may have been added to adjust the pH. Reconstituted solutions have a pH of approximately 7.5. This product is oxygen sensitive |
NUTROPIN®
|
Nutropin is produced by Genentech using recombinant DNA technology and has the same amino acid sequence as human growth hormone produced naturally in the human body. Recombinant growth hormone was cloned by Genentech scientists in 1979.
Growth hormone (hGH or GH) doesn't just contribute to physical growth in children. Adults need GH, too. In adults, GH is essential to the maintenance of healthy body composition and metabolism. When an adult's body is unable to produce enough GH,
he or she is said to have adult GH deficiency (AGHD).
|
NORDITROPIN®
|
Norditropin® is a growth hormone, sometimes referred to as somatropin, that is produced by a company called Novo Nordisk. It is made in a laboratory and is made to be as close as possible to the growth hormone made naturally in the human body. Norditropin® is indicated for the long-term treatment of children with growth failure due to inadequate secretion of endogenous growth hormone and for replacement of endogenous growth hormone in adults with growth hormone deficiency (GHD |
OMNITROPE®
|
OMNITROPE™ somatropin [rDNA origin] for injection is a polypeptide hormone of recombinant DNA origin. It has 191 amino acid residues and a molecular weight of 22,125 daltons. The amino acid sequence of the product is identical to that of human growth hormone of pituitary origin (somatropin). OMNITROPE™ is synthesized in a strain of Escherichia coli that has been modified by the addition of the gene for human growth hormone. OMNITROPE™ is a sterile white lyophilized powder intended for subcutaneous injection. |
SAIZEN®
|
Saizen® is a commercial preparation of synthetic somatropin (growth hormone, a.k.a. GH). Manufactured by Serono, Saizen is produced by recombinant DNA technology from a mammalian cell line (mouse C127) that was modified by the addition of the human GH gene, resulting in an identical 191-amino acid sequence and structure.
Saizen® is approved for the treatment of children with growth failure due to inadequate production of growth hormone by the body.
Saizen is also approved for use in adults who have growth hormone deficiency. |
TEV-TROPIN
|
TEV-TROPIN® [somatropin (rDNA origin) for injection] is a brand of growth hormone that helps give children with short stature due to growth hormone deficiency (GHD) the potential to approach a normal adult height. TEV-TROPIN® is indicated for the long-term treatment of children who have growth failure due to GHD.
If your child's doctor has prescribed TEV-TROPIN®, this Web site will help you learn more about your child’s condition and treatment. If you think your child may need growth hormone but he/she has not been diagnosed with GHD, please consult your child's doctor or make an appointment for your child to see a specialist called a pediatric endocrinologist. |
