Somatropin injections are used to replace growth hormone (a natural hormone produced by the body) in adults and children with growth hormone deficiency. Somatropin injections are also used to increase growth in children with certain conditions that affect normal growth and development. Somatropin injection comes as a solution (liquid) in prefilled dosing pens and cartridges and also as a powder in vials and cartridges to be mixed with liquid to be injected subcutaneously (under the skin). When somatropin injections are given to replace growth hormone in adults, it is usually given once a day. Somatropin injections (Serostim) are used to increase body weight and physical endurance in patients with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) who have HIV-associated wasting syndrome. Somatropin injections (Zorbtive) are used to treat short bowel syndrome in adults who are receiving additional nutrition or fluids from intravenous (IV) therapy. Somatropin is a human growth hormone (hGH) analog. It works by replacing growth hormones that are normally produced in the body, which may result in increased growth, body weight, and improved absorption of nutrients and fluids from the intestines. When somatropin injection to replace growth hormone or increase growth in children, it is usually given once daily for 3 to 7 days each week. Increasing product launches or product approvals by the regulatory authorities and an increase in the long term effect of growth hormone therapy on children with growth hormone deficiency are expected to fuel the growth of the global somatropin market over the forecast period.
Market Dynamics
Increasing product approval by regulatory authorities and an increase in the long term effect of growth hormone therapy on children with growth hormone deficiency is expected to fuel growth of the global somatropin market over the forecast period. For instance, in January, 2022, Ascendis Pharma A/S, a company that manufactures pharmaceutical products, announced that the European Commission (EC) granted marketing authorization for Lonapegsomatropin Ascendis Pharma (developed under the name TransCon hGH) as a once-weekly subcutaneous injection for the treatment of children and adolescents aged 3 to 18 years with growth failure due to insufficient secretion of endogenous growth hormone (also known as growth hormone deficiency, or GHD). TransCon hGH is a prodrug of somatropin that provides sustained release of unmodified somatropin (hGH) at predictable therapeutic levels in the body.
