Norditropin is a prescription medicine. It is a popular form of synthetic human growth hormone (HGH) used to treat children and adults with growth hormone deficiencies. Its safety profile as a treatment for growth hormone deficiency (GHD)has been long proven in clinical studies. When used as directed, it is one of the safest and most effective brands of human growth hormone available on our Products Page. Still, like all forms of prescription human growth hormone injections, it does have some potential side effects, adverse reactions, warnings, and contraindications.
One of the reasons that Norditropin is so popular and has such a high safety profile is its availability as the Norditropin FlexPro® Pen, a pre-filled HGH pen that ensures proper dosage and administration with every injection. Clinical studies have shown that such HGH pens are easy to use and help ensure patient compliance.
Growth rates have been significantly improved in children prescribed growth hormone therapy with Norditropin for GHD. It has also proven to be safe and effective in treating adults with “adult-onset” or age-related growth hormone deficiency.
For most patients the benefits of Norditropin outweigh any concerns about adverse effects. In children it has been clinically proven to improve developmental outcomes, aid in catch-up growth, reduce severe obesity, improve skeletal growth and help them reach a normal adult height.
The benefits of growth hormone injections for adults include weight loss, better control of blood sugar and glucose levels, increased lean muscle/loss of fat and increased energy.
Norditropin has a well-established safety profile as a prescription medicine. For most patients, its many benefits in treating age-related HGH decline outweigh the risk of adverse events. Still, like all drugs or medical procedures, it has some potential side effects. Like all self-administered subcutaneous injections the most common side effect is injection site reactions.
Common Adverse Effects
Besides injection site reactions other common side effects or adverse reactions include:
Most of these common side effects, particularly those related to pain like joint pain and knee pain will abate after a few months of growth hormone therapy and your body adjusts to the increased presence of growth hormone.
According to its manufacturer, Norditropin® human growth hormone should not be used if:
Before accepting a prescription for Norditropin®, tell your doctor if you:
Prior to initiation of treatment, tell your healthcare provider about any medicines you are taking, including prescription medicine and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements. Norditropin may affect how other medicines work, and other medicines may affect how Norditropin works.
Pregnant women should use with caution. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. It is not known if Norditropin® will harm your unborn baby. Talk to your healthcare provider if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant.
Never use this medication without a prescription or proper medical advice.
This medication could impact thyroid hormone levels. Patients undergoing thyroid hormone replacement therapy should not use the medication without consulting their healthcare provider.
Childhood cancer survivors should use with caution.
The above list of uncommon and more common side effects and warnings should not be construed as a completed list of potential safety issues with Norditropin. See your medication’s insert for a complete list of potential side effects.
Your prescription for HGH injections will be tailored to best meet your particular goals and minimize adverse reactions. You will be carefully monitored over the course of your treatment with Norditropin, so any chance of side effects or negative reactions in adults should be kept to a minimum. Tell your doctor if you are experiencing any of these or other side effects while taking Norditropin®. Seek medical attention immediately in the case of severe allergic reaction.
This medication is given via subcutaneous injection. It can be administered with standard Norditropin needles, or it also comes in an easy-to-use pen device known as FlexPro, making it convenient for at-home administration.
Choosing the right injection site is crucial to obtain the optimal response and comfort from your Norditropin therapy. Norditropin is typically administered subcutaneously (under the skin) in fatty tissue areas. The most common injection sites include:
Important Tip: Rotate injection sites regularly to avoid injection site reactions, irritation, scarring, or tissue atrophy. Rotation of injection sites each time will also help reduce discomfort and ensure consistent absorption of the hormone.
I study that had users of the FlexPro pen practice on a foam cushion found that they all said using the device was “easy to learn and use.”
Like all growth hormone injections, Norditropin is a prescription medication. In fact, all HGH injections are the same prescription medicine, a synthetic form of growth hormone known as somatropin. Somatropin treatment cannot be purchased in the US without a prescription from a licensed healthcare provider. Initiation of treatment with Norditropin from us requires these two simple steps:

At first glance, Norditropin may seem like one of the more expensive brands of growth hormone injections. However, there are many things that impact the cost of Norditropin and all somatropin treatment sold the US.
Ultimately, the monthly cost of Norditropin will vary from patient to patient. Growth hormone replacement therapy is prescribed on an individual basis. There are different doses and delivery methods of Norditropin available, and that can influence the cost of your HGH injections. Furthermore, your prescribed dose and whether you are using a Norditropin FlexPro pen or standard needle are not the only factors that influence the cost of this medication. Everything from the costs of R&D and compliance to the simple rules of supply and demand ultimately influences the final price you will pay for prescription Norditropin injections in the US. That having all been said, a typical prescription for HGH injections costs anywhere from about $500 to over $5000 for a monthly supply, with Norditropin tending to fall on the more expensive side of that range.
