Norditropin

Description

Introduction

Norditropincontains the identical sequence of 191 amino acids constituting the naturally occurring pituitary human growth hormone with a molecular weight of about 22,000 Daltons.

Norditropin NordiFlex is used to treat growth failure in children:
If they have no or very low production of growth hormone (growth hormone deficiency)

If they have Turner syndrome (a genetic problem which may affect growth)

If they have reduced kidney function

If they are short and were born small for gestational age (SGA).

Norditropin NordiFlex is used as a growth hormone replacement in adults:

In adults, Norditropin Nordiflex Pen 5mg is used to replace growth hormone if their growth hormone production has been decreased since childhood or has been lost in adulthood because of a tumour, treatment of a tumour, or a disease that affects the gland which produces growth hormone. If you have been treated for growth hormone deficiency during childhood, you will be retested after completion of growth. If growth hormone deficiency is confirmed, you should continue treatment.

How it works?

Norditropin Nordiflex Pen 5mg contains a biosynthetic human growth hormone called somatropin which is identical to the growth hormone produced naturally in the body. Children need growth hormones to help them grow, but adults also need it for their
general health.

Always use this medicine exactly as your doctor has told you. Check with your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure.

Dosages

Recommended dose
The dose for children depends on their body weight and body surface area. Later in life, the dose depends on your height, weight, gender, and growth hormone sensitivity and will be adjusted until you are on the right dose.

Children with low production or lack of growth hormone:
The usual dose is 0.025 to 0.035 mg per kg body weight per day or 0.7 to 1.0 mg per m2 body surface area per day

Children with Turner syndrome:
The usual dose is 0.045 to 0.067 mg per kg of body weight per day or 1.3 to 2.0 mg per m2 body surface area per day

Children with kidney disease:
The usual dose is 0.050 mg per kg of body weight per day or 1.4 mg per m² body surface area per day

Children born small for gestational age (SGA):
The usual dose is 0.035 mg per kg of body weight per day or 1.0 mg per m2 body surface area per day until final height is
reached. (In clinical trials of short children born SGA doses of 0.033 and 0.067 mg per kg body weight per day have typically
been used)

Review1
Generally if it is not reconstituted (meaning that it is not yet mixed), then it should hold out well at room temperature for a month or two and perhaps longer. But quite honestly that is the danger with hgh,it can lose it`s potence and sometimes all potency. Big name brands will ship from manufacturing date direct to your door in dry ice. Now again, it`s not mixed yet so it should be OK. But I suggest you ask naps this question because they can reassure you or at least give you more guidance.

Anything that’s has no water in it is fine to be in transit even though it wasn’t at optimum storing temperature. Water acts as a medium for enzymes/bacteria to move around and degrade it(breakdown) the chemical bonds. This is a recombinant proteins so it was lyophilized (freeze dried) in a lab so it has no water in it. So you are good my friend! now if you order Pre-mixed with water in it (medium) then it will be an issue in transit. Then it will need to be shipped in a cold packed or dried ice. But even in solution if the condition was sterile and no enzymes is in the vial it would be fine for a while. The potency might be a little less but I would not worry because this was not the case. You are good my friend!! And good luck!

Review 3
This HGH is NOT premixed. The norditropin simplex website say the cartridge must be stored between 2 and 8 degrees Celsius prior to first use. My package of norditropin has been in Turkey since may 21st and I`m assuming its warmer then 8° Celsius. Is my norditropin cartridge going to go bad during the 2-3 weeks it takes to arrive? For $365 plus a $50 HGH shipping fee I expect to get prescription grade HGH but with the amount of time it`s in transit outside of the recommended storage temperature range I fear it going bad before it arrives. Anyone have any experience with this? Please do not use this post to recommend any grey blue green tops, I`m interested in the NORDS only. Thank you

My son started with Norditropin in December and so far, he has grown 2 inches his doctor stated, we can expect to see 4 inches in the first year and so far, he is on schedule. he has not experienced any of the side effects that comes with using Norditropin which is wonderful. I am hopeful for a height expectancy of 5’7 right now, he is 14 and 4’11.
