Question
After using Ansomone growth hormone for a period of time, the child’s height has not shown significant growth, and the parents are worried about potential side effects.
Answer
Ansomone growth hormone is primarily composed of recombinant human growth hormone and is used to treat growth delays caused by endogenous growth hormone deficiency, as well as stunted growth due to Turner’s syndrome and chronic kidney failure. Approximately 1% of children with stunted growth experience side effects after using this product, which commonly include temporary reactions at the injection site such as pain, numbness, and swelling. These symptoms usually occur early on and diminish with increased duration of treatment. In rare cases, these side effects may interfere with daily life. This product should not be used in children with closed epiphyses, and children’s growth takes time. Parents should pay attention to their child’s diet, strengthen exercise, and maintain patience.
