Somatropin is a synthetic form of human growth hormone (HGH) that is used to treat growth hormone deficiency in children and adults. It is also sometimes used for other medical conditions such as short bowel syndrome or muscle wasting in HIV patients.
Somatropin works by stimulating the production and release of growth hormone from the pituitary gland in the brain. This hormone then acts on various tissues and organs in the body to promote growth and development. It stimulates the growth of bones, muscles, and organs, as well as the production of proteins and the breakdown of fats for energy.
