Genotropin MiniQuick

Somatropin (recombinant human growth hormone, rhGH) is a synthetic version of the naturally occurring hormone produced by the pituitary gland. Genotropin MiniQuick is a pre-filled, single-use somatropin injection designed for accurate dosing and convenient administration in regulated medical settings. It is a prescription-only medication that requires qualified medical supervision.

What Is Recombinant Human Growth Hormone (rhGH)?

Recombinant human growth hormone plays an essential role in:

• Physical growth and development
• Tissue repair and regeneration
• Regulation of metabolism

When the body produces insufficient growth hormone, somatropin therapy may be prescribed to restore normal physiological function.
