Question
My child is using a growth hormone water solution, but I’ve seen many discussions mentioning the presence of preservatives, and I’m concerned that this might be harmful to their body. I would like to understand more and seek assistance.
Answer
The packaging specifications for growth hormone solutions on the market usually come in only a few types. If the same dosage of water solution is used for each injection, it may lead to drug overdose or wastage of remaining medication after injection. In reality, since growth hormone is a protein preparation, studies have shown that repeated use of protein medications may pose safety risks. Unprotected protein medications may have a contamination rate of up to 18% after being left for 7 hours.
