Norditropin Reviews
For Short Stature for Age "My 15-year-old son before treatment was only averaging 1 inch a year in growth, and we were told he had actually stopped growing since age 11. At this time, he was 13 years old. He has been on Norditropin since December 2014 and has grown almost 5 inches and is now more confident than ever, he even has a girlfriend now! Lol."
For Turner Syndrome "Although relatively more expensive than other options, it is the most convenient alternative for parents with Turner's Syndrome in pediatric use. Also, there is a possibility to perform the injection after the first 15-20 mins of sleep to avoid child's resistance of treatment 6 days/wk. Now crossing treatment year 3, growth charts continue demonstrating significant annual gains."
For Adult Human Growth Hormone Deficiency "Norditropin FlexPro Pen is very easy to use, just not easy to get the insurance company to approve or find a doctor that knows how to handle patients with this condition."
