Unlike with most medications, you won’t just walk down to your local pharmacy to pick up your Norditropin® prescription. Instead, you’ll work with a Specialty Pharmacy. This will be the company that ships your medicine to you on a regular basis.

Refrigerate the pen upon receipt.a
After the first time you use the pen, you can store it at room temperature (up to 77°F) for up to 21 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 4 weeks.a
