1 | Growth deficit | 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!! | M | 16 | 30 days 2mg | 10/21/2020 | 5 | My kid is suffering from IGF-1 | No Side effect | 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. | M | 3.5 | 550 days 0.70 1X day | 5/29/2020 | 5 | 2 NEUROSURGERIES | 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. | M | 57 | 6 years | 11/8/2009 | 5 | for adult growth hormone deficiency | None to date. | 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. | F | 46 | 2 years | 8/22/2009 | 4 | Adult Growth Hormone Deficiency | No side effects. | 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. | F | 54 | 6 years | 2/25/2008 | 4 | 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. | F | 39 | 7 months | 11/7/2007 |
