For Pediatric Growth Hormone Deficiency "Use of medication and dispensing is good. My son has a complex medical history. He had HLHS that had 3 palliation surgeries, heart failure, VAD, then heart transplant. Needles are a huge trigger for him, so taking med nightly for 6 nights, then off 1 night is a lot. Wish there was a better option than shots so frequently. He is starting to see some growth since restarting the medication. He has had a constant runny nose since the restart almost 2 1/2 months ago."

For Short Stature for Age "Its so heavy, very cumbersome process to prepare the med. It hurts more even though needle is same as Norditropine. Also why the smell?? I like Norditropine better."

"I have tried almost every type of growth hormone on the market and nothing comes close to Genotropin for the benefits. I didn't get any side effects, but I did from some of the others. Although there's a smell, this helps to distinguish the authentic product from the large amount of fakes on the open market."
