De pen is ontworpen voor gebruiksgemak en nauwkeurige dosering.
Instructies voor Gebruik:
1. Composition: Each Somatropin pen contains 90 IU (30mg) of somatropin in a ready-to-use format.
2. Dosage: The dosage varies depending on the condition being treated, patient age, weight, and response to therapy. Consult with a healthcare professional for personalized dosage recommendations.
3. Administration: Administer the growth hormone subcutaneously using the Somatropin pen. Rotate injection sites to minimize the risk of local irritation or tissue atrophy.
4. Preparation: Follow the specific instructions provided with the Somatropin pen for preparing and administering the injection. Ensure the pen is primed and the correct dose is set before each use.
5. Monitoring: Regularly monitor growth progress, IGF-1 levels, and any potential side effects during treatment. Adjust dosage as directed by your healthcare provider.
6. Potential Side Effects: Be aware of possible side effects, including injection site reactions, swelling, joint pain, headaches, and in rare cases, increased intracranial pressure. Report any severe or unusual symptoms to your healthcare provider.
7. Special Considerations: Use with caution in patients with diabetes, as somatropin can affect glucose metabolism. Inform your healthcare provider of any other medications or conditions.
