Humatrope (somatropin recombinant) Side Effects, Uses Dosages
Side Effects for Humatrope (somatropin recombinant)
Couldn’t get the drug to inject. My son has taken 2 other brands of growth hormone but humatrope was the WORST. No training! When I requested training they couldn’t even do the training in a reasonable time. 14 business day wait! When you need growth hormone everyday counts. Especially when your growth plates are closing!! I’m appalled by both the product and the patient customer service. This product should be REMOVED from the market.
Horrible product! Horrible customer service! Why would a patient want to mix their own growth hormone when there are some many errors that can happen and then the growth hormone is ineffective!!! Absurd! Lily should be embarrassed!!
My kid is suffering from IGF-1
My kid had been using this for 1.5 years, when he was 8 month old and diagnosed with IGF-1. we observed a significant growth in 1.5 year. After that we got a substitute for this, since humatrope 18 IU 6mg was expensive for us. But we observed after 10 months, the substitute is not that much effective. Its been 2.5 years since we are treating my kid with HGH.
TOTALLY ELIMINATED CUSHINGS SYNDROME FROM HYPOPITUITARY TREATMENT
FOR ME, THE BEST DRUG EVER INVENTED. HAD NEAR ZERO HGH LEVEL AND NEAR INABILITY TO REGENERATE CELLS DUE TO MY 2 NEUROSURGERIES AND HAD A SHORT TIME TO LIVE. THIS MED TRULY SAVED MY LIFE AND I HAVE A FEW DECADES AHEAD OF ME NOW. MUSCLE MASS IS LEAN AND MEAN, BRAIN IS ALERT AND LIBIDO IS AWESOME.
for adult growth hormone deficiency
Before taking Humatrope, my growth hormone levels were so low that I couldn't even stay awake. I lost my drivers licence because they didn't know what was wrong with me. Finally, my endo tested me for this and since injecting daily, I can finally stay awake and have my licence back.
Adult Growth Hormone Deficiency
Deficiency was diagnosed nearly 2 years after a head injury. Take a very low dose daily and it has changed my life! There may not be a "cure" but the treatment is certainly sufficient and worth every penny. I would not be able to function without this drug.
Adult growth hormone deficiency
Muscle & joint pain when dose was on the high side.
I was prescribed Humatrope for adult growth hormone deficiency secondary to a brain mass. It has helped with increasing my energy, concentration, and lean muscle mass.

After being hypersensitive to so many medications, and having every horrid side effect imaginable, taking Imitrex was a happy surprise. I experienced no side effects, and it has always gotten rid of, or at least lessened the intensity of my migraines. I have found the key to relief is taking it as soon as I am sure it will be a persistent headache. Trying to tough it out and wait a few hours to see if I really really need meds is only prolongs the agony and the medication is slightly less effective.
not many side effects at all, just hungry a lot and agitation and I seem to want sex a lot more woo hoo!!! I was really weepy too!
extremely over-emotional, increased anxiety, yeast infections
It was the only drug that would work to ease the spasm and pain in my stomach.
