How Growth Hormone Therapy Is Administered

Genuine growth hormone therapy is administered one way, and only one way, via subcutaneous injections. Any other product that purports to be or contain human growth hormone (HGH), that can be administered any way other than by an injection, is not actual growth hormone therapy. Don’t be fooled by false claims.

HGH administration when done correctly has been clinically proven to be the safest and most effective way to treat growth hormone deficiency (GHD). The administration of all HGH therapy involves the use of Somatotropin, which is human growth hormone made from recombinant DNA. The HGH, or Somatotropin, in all prescription growth hormone injection kits, is identical to the HGH produced by your own body. However, it does require some special care, and some education on how to properly administer HGH.

There are several brand names of growth hormone used in the administration of HGH replacement therapy. Some of the most popular brands of growth hormone injection therapy include:

  • Saizen
  • Somatohorm
  • Nutropin
  • Genotropin
  • Humatrope
  • Jintropin 

The various brands of HGH injections vary mostly in their dosages and HGH administration methods.

What Are the Steps to Administering Growth Hormone Therapy?

If you are using the type of HGH injection kit that uses syringes to administer growth hormone therapy, you will use one syringe and two needles administration of HGH. One needle will be used to draw the water to reconstitute the growth hormone, and to mix it, the other will be used to administer HGH. The tube part of the syringe is graduated, with measurements like a ruler, so you can accurately measure the water to reconstitute the HGH and your dosage. Make sure you use new/sterile needles from the sealed package for each injection. Most kits will have two ampules of liquid. One contains the HGH, the other sodium chloride (sterilized) water to mix it with. DO NOT USE ANY OTHER WATER TO MIX THE GROWTH HORMONE.

Your kit may also contain alcohol swabs to sterilize the injection site, and rubber gloves.

Chose a calm, well-lit area to administer growth hormone therapy, with a flat surface to lay out all of your HGH injection supplies. Be sure no one, or nothing in the area will disturb you, so that you can totally concentrate on administering HGH correctly.

It does not really matter when you administer growth hormone, but many doctors recommend at night just before bed. This way it becomes part of your night time routine, and you are not under pressure to do it in the morning when you may be rushing to get to work, or have your mind on other things.

As each kit could be different, your doctor or nurse practitioner will provide you with the exact step-by-step procedure to mix and administer you growth hormone therapy. However generally speaking, the steps to administer growth hormone are:

  • Ensure your hands and the surface used are clean.
  • Mix your growth hormone injection to your doctor’s specifications and instructions.
  • Select a site for your subcutaneous injection. Avoid the area directly around your belly button. Use an alcohol swab to prep the injection site.
  • If you are right-handed, use your left hand to pinch a fold of skin and hold it up. Use your right hand to inject the HGH into the fold of skin with the syringe, or auto-injector pen. If you are left-handed, do the opposite.
  • Remove the needle quickly, DO NOT try to massage the area or rub the HGH in.
  • Once the needle is removed, use another sterile alcohol wipe to hold pressure on the injection site for a minute or so.

That’s all there is to it.

In the HGH injection kits that still use syringes, the needles are very thin, much like the ones that diabetics use to administer insulin shots, and so they are barely noticeable beyond a pinch when done correctly. Some of the newer HGH injections use premeasured auto-pen injectors. These injections are very easy, and very quick, and administer growth hormone with little or no pain at all.

Growth hormone injections are given subcutaneously, or just below the skin. Which means that unlike other injections that have to be given directly into muscles (intramuscular injections) the needles do not have to penetrate deeply, so they are very small, and relatively painless.

A fear of needles or injections is no reason to deny yourself the many positive benefits of growth hormone therapy. The needles today are made with extraordinary precision & sharpness resulting in little or no discomfort.
