Omnitrope is human growth hormone injections produced by a pharmaceutical company called Sandoz. The Omnitrope injections are laboratory created to provide a ready supply of human growth hormone (HGH). It has been designed to be bioidentical to somatotropin. The pituitary glands naturally produce somatotropin. Reduced levels of somatropin result in growth failure among other conditions like Turner Syndrome and Prader-Willi Syndrome.
Omnitrope can be used in case of various conditions. The conditions are and not limited to abnormal fatigue, weight gain, low stamina and or decreased orgasm strength. All of these are medical conditions. As such, individuals are advised to seek medical attention before using Omnitrope.
When visiting a doctor, the patient should disclose their past medical conditions. That is to say, in case one has suffered from any long-term medical condition, they should be open about it. Additionally, the family medical history should also be disclosed. This disclosure is essential to ensure one gets high-quality prescriptions and avoiding adverse side effects.
Some persons are not allowed to use Omnitrope. They include and not limited to, persons with allergies to growth hormones, severe breathing problems, and any tumor. The use is also discouraged for cases of certain types of heart or stomach surgeries.
Omnitrope is packed as a lyophilized powder. That is, it is a peptide that has been freeze-dried. It is packaged this way for preservation purposes. The powder is packed in 5.8 milligrams vials. It also comes with 1.14 milliliters vial of water that has been preserved with alcohol. Once acquired and mixed, the reconstitution’s stability is three weeks. It advisable that the vial is kept in conditions between 36oF and 46oF.
Omnitrope offers injection pens to help with the injection process. It eliminates the need for mixing to reconstitute. After the first injection, the ready to use cartridge is viable for only 28 days. Once done with the first cartridge, the pen needs to be primed before use. Priming is the removal of air that accumulates during usage from the cartridge.
As much as Omnitrope is beneficial, it also has side effects. As a user, one expects numbness or swellings around the injected area, joint and muscle pain, and headaches. There are also extreme cases such as glycosuria (sugar in urine), Carpal tunnel syndrome, decreasing levels of thyroid hormone and increased mortality.
It is encouraged that in case of any adverse effects, one should report to the food and drug administration (FDA). In conclusion, the usage of this growth hormone should be with care.

Used this medication when I was 15-18 to treat my stunted growth and development due to being malnourished from Crohn’s Disease. Over the course of the time using it, I went from being 5’0 & 87 lbs freshman year of high school to 5’10 & 155 lbs at graduation. This was without lifting weights or really changing my diet at all. Grew 10 inches and gained nearly 70 lbs. I experienced no side effects.

My son at age 6 started the injections due to short stature. Before injections my tiny 6 year old had a bone age growth of 2.5 years and weighed a whopping 32 lbs and was 38 inches tall. Only 4 months after starting the hormone, my son had grown 2 inches and gained a little under 4 lbs. my son is now at the 6 month point and I can see his jeans getting shorter. I cannot wait to see what a full year of hormones does for my big boy
