Somatropin "The NuSpin pen itself is extremely painful. It shoots in so fast that it hurts. I wish they would fix this issue. We have chosen to use syringes and pull it out and administer it that way instead of using pen. Such a shame it doesn't come any other way. My daughter is 12 and super tough I can't imagine how bad it hurts someone younger."

Somatropin "My daughter has been on Omnitrope for less than a year. She has cried each night when we give her injections because the injection device administers the medication so slowly. We called the company and received a new pen injection device but are still having the same issue. The representative that I spoke with when I inquired about getting a new pen did say that our issue was a common complaint. We are in the process of switching to Norditropin."

"My 15-year-old daughter has been self-administering somatropin (under the names Humatrope or Norditropin - dependent upon insurance provider choice) since the age of 8. Great results regarding height. Prognosis without this medicine was a max height of 4'8". She is now 5'2". She has had no complications or side effects. Her only complaint is that the increased long-bone growth has given her large feet (size 10) and very long fingers. I suppose that is a 'plus' for those interested in playing the piano!"

Somatropin "Although relatively more expensive than other options, it is the most convenient alternative for parents with Turner's Syndrome in pediatric use. Also, there is a possibility to perform the injection after the first 15-20 minutes of sleep to avoid the child's resistance to treatment 6 days a week. Now crossing treatment year 3, growth charts continue demonstrating significant annual gains."
