Approved Medical Uses of Growth Hormone

Somatropin is approved for defined medical conditions. Approved indications differ between products, and the prescribing information for each product governs its use.

Adult indications

  • Adult growth hormone deficiency from pituitary or hypothalamic disease, surgery, radiation or trauma
  • Long-standing growth hormone deficiency that persists into adulthood
  • HIV-associated wasting or cachexia, for products approved for that use
  • Short bowel syndrome, for products approved for that use

Off-label and prohibited uses

Distribution of somatropin for uses not authorized by law, including athletic performance and bodybuilding, is prohibited. This website does not support those uses.

Whether therapy is appropriate, and which product and strength are used, is determined solely by the treating licensed provider after an evaluation.
