Omnitrope is a respected provider of growth hormone for both children and adults who require increased circulating hormone levels. It is approved by the FDA for adult therapy. Patients can choose between two options for how to take Omnitrope: a pre-loaded injection pen and in a vial with a kit. The injection pen, convenient and perfect for patients who travel often, comes with the needle, mixing solution, and hormone powder.

The vial, which must be refrigerated, comes with all the materials needed for injection and clear instructions. To begin, patients can take a daily dosage of 0.15 – 0.3 milligrams, escalating each month as necessary by adding 0.1 milligrams to the daily dosage. Doctors can calculate individualized dosages by considering body weight.
