How to Administer Humatrop HGH Correctly
You have to be careful when you administer Humatrop prescription HGH. If you use the treatment right it will help whoever is in need of it.
Here are some simple tips to remember:
- Equal Humatrop doses should be taken either 6 or 7 days a week. It depends upon the week. However, for adult patients it should be taken every single day.
- You should vary the locations on your body to where you inject this solution. This will avoid what is known as lipoatrophy (loss of fat tissue).
- Make sure you or your child schedules a regular doctor’s checkup. This will ensure that an individualized treatment plan is established either for you or a child you are responsible for.
- If no response noticed within a patient who has been administered Humatrop for a year, a different action may be taken. In the case of a child issues such as hypothyroidism, malnutrition, and other issues will be explored.
- The recommended weekly dosages you take are measured in milligrams per kilogram of body weight. This pertains to pediatric patients especially. There are different recommendations depending upon deficiency symptoms.
- For adults, there are two different approaches used to determine dosage. One is a weight-based one and the other is a non-weight based one.
- If your doctor tells you to use the non-weight-based approach this is what you would do: You would start out on approximately .2mg/day. It should be increased gradually once every 1 to 2o months, based in your response and/or the concentration of growth factor. If you react negatively to this it would decrease.
- If your doctor told you to follow the weight-based regimen you would take .006mg/ki per day. Depending upon your response to this your dosage would be increased, and if you have adverse effects it would later be decreased.
Additional instructions will be given to you by your doctor. You should follow these very carefully. If you do not you could endanger yourself.
Even if you do use your Humatrop HGH treatment the way you should you may notice some side effects. Report any changes and problems immediately with your doctor.
