My son also takes Genotropin. It is usually given for problems more than being small for her age. Being small for her age is just a symptom. Generally an endocrinologist should have checked into the REASONS for her being small. They will usually base their reason for giving supplementation on the fact that the child is not producing adequate growth hormone on her own. If this is true of your daughter, then discontinuing the medication could affect more than just her growth. Please discuss your concerns with your childs endocrinologist and have them explain what could happen if you stop the medication and the reasons the endocrinologist decided that giving genotropin was the best way to approach her treatment in the first place then make your decision. At seven, you child may be old enough to have input on whether or not SHE wants to continue.
