Geriostim Aqua Pen 45 IU

Somatropin (recombinant human growth hormone, rhGH) is a synthetic version of the hormone naturally produced by the pituitary gland. Geriostim Aqua Pen 45 IU is a prefilled, pen-based somatropin delivery system 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)?
