About this active substance

Lonapegsomatropin is a medication used to treat growth hormone deficiency in children and adolescents. It is a modified form of somatropin that allows for prolonged hormone release, thereby reducing the frequency of administration.

The medication is administered as subcutaneous injections, usually once a week, and is used to stimulate growth and improve bone and muscle metabolism. Treatment is closely monitored by an endocrinologist.

Side effects may include injection site reactions, headaches, nausea, or muscle pain. In rare cases, severe allergic reactions or other complications may occur.

It is important for patients to strictly follow their doctor's instructions and inform them about any other medications or supplements they are taking. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult a specialist before using this medication.
