(Uses Norditropin®)
Sometimes people’s bodies don’t produce enough growth hormone on their own. This is called growth hormone deficiency. When this happens, both children and adults may be treated with synthetic growth hormone called recombinant human growth hormone. This hormone is identical to the growth hormone that human bodies make.
Children who are not growing because of low or no growth hormone
Children who are short (in stature) and who have Noonan Syndrome or Turner Syndrome
Children who are short (in stature) because they were born small (small for gestational age-SGA) and have not caught-up in growth by age 2 to 4 years
Children who are short (in stature) with no underlying disorder, hormonal issue, or nutritional problem (Idiopathic Short Stature)
Children who are not growing who have Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS)
Adults who do not make enough growth hormone
