Norditropin Nordiflex How to Take

Norditropin Nordiflex (Somatropin) belongs to a class of medications known as growth stimulants. Norditropin Nordiflex (Somatropin) is a synthetic growth hormone. Growth hormone is made naturally in our bodies by the pituitary gland and is necessary for stimulation of growth in children.

Norditropin Nordiflex (Somatropin) is used to treat growth hormone deficiency in children (to replace growth hormone that they are unable to produce enough of naturally) and to correct growth failure in children born small for gestational age (SGA) who do not catch up in growth by 2 years or later. It is also used to stimulate growth for children with Turner syndrome.
