pediatric growth hormone deficiency
"My son began taking Humatrope at the age of 5 and in almost 3 years he has grown just over 10 inches and gained around 10 lbs. When he began he was not on the growth chart at all and was not moving up as he should.  After testing found him to be growth hormone deficent he began the daily shots and now is in the 25% on the growth chart!  He will continue to take Humatrope until he is finished growing so we still have years of shots ahead of us but for us AND HIM they are proving to be worth it."
