Growth hormone is essential for growth in children. Humatrope is a synthetic form of human growth hormone. Humatrope's structure and chemistry are identical to those of the growth hormone produced by the human pituitary gland. Humatrope is "man-made" (biosynthesized) through a process known as recombinant DNA technology. In the United States, Humatrope was the first commercially available "man-made" human growth hormone that is identical to the hormone produced by the pituitary gland.
Side effects: Headache, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, muscle pain, or weakness may occur. If these symptoms continue or become bothersome, inform your doctor or pharmacist promptly.
