SOMATROPIN 4 I.U.=1.6MG VIAL

Somatropin 4 IU (1.6mg) is a recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) identical to the hormone naturally produced by the pituitary gland. Manufactured by Sedico Pharmaceuticals, this medication is used to treat growth failure in children and hormone deficiency in adults. It is available at Magdy Farouk Pharmacy in Hurghada.

Somatropin is clinically indicated for several conditions, including:

• Pediatric Growth Failure: Due to inadequate secretion of endogenous growth hormone.
• Adult Growth Hormone Deficiency: Either childhood-onset or adult-onset resulting from pituitary disease.
• Turner Syndrome: To improve height in girls with this genetic condition.
• Chronic Renal Insufficiency: Growth retardation in children before kidney transplantation.

This medication requires careful preparation before use:

1. Reconstitution: The powder (lyophilized) must be mixed with the provided solvent. Inject the solvent slowly against the side of the vial.
2. Gentle Mixing: Do not shake the vial. Gently swirl until the powder is completely dissolved. Shaking can damage the hormone protein.
3. Injection: Usually administered via subcutaneous (under the skin) injection as directed by a healthcare professional.

Due to the heat in Hurghada, proper storage is critical for the efficacy of Somatropin:

• Temperature: Must be stored in a refrigerator at 2°C to 8°C.
• Protection: Keep the vial in the outer carton to protect it from light. Do not freeze.
• Post-Mixing: Once reconstituted, the solution should be used immediately or stored according to the specific manufacturer guidelines (usually 24 hours under refrigeration).
