Determining the Dosage of Humatrope HGH for Adults

Your prescribed Humatrope dosage is determined based on your weight, age, height, gender, and level of deficiency. Some people may receive a starting Humatrope pen dosage of 0.2 mg per day. Gradual increasing increments of 0.1 to 0.2 mg may be used in some instances. Individuals over sixty typically receive lowering starting doses with slow increases to allow their bodies time to adjust to the change in growth hormone levels.

Do not attempt to adjust or determine the Humatrope dosage for adults without proper medical guidance. Blood analysis is crucial to an accurate dosage.

Proper Humatrope administration results in superior results to reverse the symptoms of adult HGH deficiency. An incorrect dosage will either not provide the desired results or will bring unwanted and potentially dangerous side effects.
