How long will my child have to take Nutropin therapy?
Talk with your doctor about the expected scope of your daughter’s treatment. Healthcare professionals recommend continuing growth hormone therapy until the doctor determines that GH therapy should end. When a girl enters puberty, her body starts to produce more estrogen, which promotes bone fusion and stops bone growth. Therefore, it is important for you to discuss puberty and estrogen replacement with your healthcare professional. Estrogen replacement therapy should be timed to limit this potential negative effect on growth, yet still allow for puberty to occur at a normal age.
