Nutropin® (Somatropin) patient handout

• Nutropin (Somatropin [rDNA origin] for injection) is used for : long term treatment of growth failure in children with inadequate secretion of endogenous growth hormone, long term treatment of short stature from Turner syndrome.Nutropin is used : to treat growth failure from chronic renal insufficiency up to time of renal transplantation; to replace endogenous growth hormone in adult persons with growth hormone deficiency.

• Nutropin is a purified growth hormone which recombine DNA origin that stimulates skeletal, linear, muscle and organ growth.
• Therapeutic effects of Nutropin : increased skeletal growth in children with growth hormone deficiency, replacement of somatropin in deficient adults, decreased wasting in persons with AIDS, increased bone density in adult growth hormone.

• Absorption Absorption describes the process that follows drug administration and its subsequent delivery to systemic circulation. : well absorbed.
• Distribution Drug's distribution in body tissues and fluids. : localize to highly perfused organs (liver, kidneys).
• Metabolism and excretion Important in determining dosage regimens and intervals for persons with hepatic or impaired renal function. : broken down in renal cells to amino acids that are recirculated.
• Half life The half-life of a drug is the amount of time it takes the drug level to decrease by 50% and roughly correlates with the duration of action. : 3.8 hours

• Nutropin (Somatropin - rDNA origin) is contraindicated in persons with : acute critical illness from complications following open heart or abdominal surgery, closed epiphyses, active malignancy, active underlying intracranial lesion.

• Administration of Nutropin (Somatropin - rDNA origin) to persons without growth hormone deficiency or after epiphyseal closure may result in acromegaly (coarsening of facial features; enlarged hands, feet and internal organs; increased blood glucose; hypertension).
• You MUST follow-up with endocrinologist to ensure appropriate growth rate, to evalute lab work and to determine bone age by X-Ray exam.
• Nutropin dose is synthetic and therefore is not capable of transmitting Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, as was the original somatropin which was extracted from human cadavers.
• Child with endocrine disorders (including growth hormone deficiency) may have an increased risk of slipped capital epiphyses.Notify prescriber immediately if you're notice that your child is limping.
