CinnaTropin (Somatropin) is a synthetic form of human growth hormone (HGH). Somatropin is designed to mimic the naturally occurring growth hormone produced by the pituitary gland. It plays a crucial role in growth, cell reproduction, and regeneration in the body.
CinnaTropin is commonly used to treat growth hormone deficiency in children and adults. It may help children who have growth failure due to various causes, such as chronic kidney disease, Turner syndrome, or Prader-Willi syndrome. In adults, it can be used to treat growth hormone deficiency or muscle wasting associated with conditions like HIV/AIDS.
Somatropin can also be used off-label for anti-aging purposes, muscle growth, or performance enhancement, though such uses are controversial and may carry risks. It is typically administered via injection and requires a prescription. Common side effects may include joint pain, muscle pain, swelling, and increased blood sugar levels.
