"Doctor, is it suitable to use growth hormone, powder or water for children?"
"Doctor, which brand of growth hormone aqua is good?"
……
In real life, many parents are worried about their children's height. Even though they bypassed all kinds of misunderstandings and finally found the right way to see a doctor, they were full of doubts about the need to use growth hormone, and they were even more entangled in the choice of drugs. How to choose growth hormone? Which dosage form is more suitable for your child? Which growth hormone works better? Today, the evaluation team is divided into several ways. In response to parents' confusion, they invited a number of well-known experts in the field of children's growth and development in 3A hospitals, and made a detailed interpretation of the brand product information of growth hormone in the market from the perspective of the issues that parents are most concerned about, hoping to give some help to confused parents.
It is necessary to know each other first, and then understand each other. Everything is the same, and growth hormone is no exception. So let's take a look at the main brands of growth hormone listed in China at present, so as to know fairly well.
Comprehensive information list of main growth hormone products in China
The above picture only shows the general situation of the main growth hormone products in China, but how to choose a growth hormone suitable for children? Don't worry, let's look down step by step.
In the face of many growth hormone brands and products, many parents and friends who come into contact for the first time are ignorant. How to learn to simplify the complex and clearly understand the differences between many information? Listen to the opinions of experts.

Q: What kinds of growth hormones are there? What is the difference?
Answer: According to the form of growth hormone preparation, it can be divided into freeze-dried powder injection and liquid water injection. Natural growth hormone originally exists in liquid form in body fluids. At first, in order to solve the problem of long-term preservation of growth hormone, and at the same time, due to the limitation of early preparation technology, it can only be dehydrated at low temperature to make freeze-dried powder injection. Just like before the invention of refrigerator, people usually only salted fresh meat and dried it to make preserved meat, so as to achieve the purpose of long-term preservation without deterioration; The other preparation is injectable and exists in a more physiological and natural liquid form. Compared with freeze-dried powder injection, the molecular structure of water injection is closer to nature, with higher purity and activity, fewer antibodies and more convenient use. Obviously, the latter is the result and product of the progress of preparation technology.
In addition, growth hormone can be divided into short-acting and long-acting preparations according to the duration of action. Short-acting drugs include freeze-dried powder injection and short-acting water injection; Long-acting preparation is long-acting growth hormone water injection, which is a revolutionary progress of biological preparation technology in protein in the history of human pharmacy! At present, a lot of clinical experience has proved that long-acting growth hormone water injection is as safe and effective as short-acting water injection. Apart from the difference in molecular structure and combination, the biggest difference between short-acting and long-acting preparations in clinic is whether it is necessary to inject every day. Short-acting preparations should be injected every day, 365 needles a year. The long-term effect can be extended to once a week, with only 52 stitches a year. Therefore, patients who use long-acting preparations, especially those who are afraid of frequent injections, students who live in school and have the opportunity to go home on weekends, and adults who travel frequently, have greatly improved their treatment compliance and convenience, and at the same time greatly protected their personal privacy.
In order to let parents and friends know more clearly and intuitively, we summarize the growth hormone brands on the market into the following chart according to their dosage forms.
Comparison chart of relevant data of growth hormone product dosage form brand
Knock on the blackboard: growth hormone can be divided into powder, short-acting water agent and long-acting water agent; Compared with powder, aqueous solution is closer to natural growth hormone, with higher purity and activity, fewer antibodies and more convenient use. The frequency of injection of long-acting growth hormone is lower than that of short-acting injection, and weekly injection replaces daily injection, which is more acceptable to children by reducing 3 13 injections per year. The listing of long-acting growth hormone represents the revolutionary progress of biological preparation technology in protein.
