Nutropin by NuSpin

Nutropin AQ [somatropin (rDNA origin) injection] is human growth hormone that is available by prescription only in a disposable pen called NuSpin.

Doctors prescribe Nutropin therapy for children and teenagers who are short or growing slowly because they:

• Do not make enough growth hormone on their own
• Have idiopathic short stature, which means they are shorter than 98.8% of other children of the same age and sex; are growing at a rate not likely to allow them to reach normal adult height; and no other cause of short stature can be found
• Have Turner syndrome
• Have chronic kidney disease (CKD) up to the time of kidney transplant.
