Genotropin Reviews

"I have tried almost every type of growth hormone on the market and nothing comes close to Genotropin for the benefits. I didn't get any side effects, but I did from some of the others. Although there's a smell, this helps to distinguish the authentic product from the large amount of fakes on the open market."


For Adult Human Growth Hormone Deficiency "Works great, with the right dose, feel normal. Without rubbish. Injections are easy to use (miniquicks). Need to vary injection sites to avoid carpal symptoms, etc."


For Pediatric Growth Hormone Deficiency "It was horrible. It made me vomit every almost every day, and dizzy on occasion. Norditropin FlexPro is the better alternative"


For Short Stature for Age "Its so heavy, very cumbersome process to prepare the med. It hurts more even though needle is same as Norditropine. Also why the smell?? I like Norditropine better."
