Somatropin is a form of human growth hormone. Human growth hormone is important in the
body for the growth of bones and muscles.
Somatropin is used to treat growth failure in children and adults who lack natural growth
hormone, and in those with chronic kidney failure, Noonan syndrome, Turner syndrome, short stature
at birth with no catch-up growth, and other causes. Somatropin is also used to prevent severe weight
loss in people with AIDS, or to treat short bowel syndrome.
