NORDITROPIN (somatropin) for injection is a recombinant human growth hormone. It is a polypeptide of recombinant DNA origin and is synthesized by a special strain of E. coli bacteria that has been modified by the addition of a plasmid which carries the gene for human growth hormone.
Growth hormone therapy is given by injection, but don’t let that scare you—or your child. Learn about our needles and pen storage requirements—Norditropin® pens can be stored outside of the refrigerator for up to 21 days after first use.a
NORDITROPIN contains the identical sequence of 191 amino acids constituting the naturally occurring pituitary human growth hormone with a molecular weight of about 22,000 Daltons.
NORDITROPIN is supplied as a sterile solution for subcutaneous use in ready-to-administer prefilled pens with a volume of 1.5 mL or 3 mL.
All best injectable HGH products contain synthetic somatotropin, produced via recombinant DNA technology. Because of this, the product is also called recombinant somatotropin in the medical community. The final product has the same protein structure made up of 191-amino acids just like the natural GH that should be synthesized in your body.
