Somatropin

Doctors prescribe Somatropin for children with growth hormone deficiency and adults with certain medical conditions affecting growth and metabolism. It helps improve body composition, bone density, and muscle mass. This hormone plays a vital role in overall health, making it an important treatment for those with growth disorders.
