Question

Why do growth hormones need to be provided with preservatives? Are there any harmful effects on the child’s body during subsequent use? Seeking assistance.

Answer

The packaging specifications for growth hormones on the market are limited, which may result in insufficient dosage or drug waste with single use. In practice, growth hormone is often used multiple times for anesthesia. Scientific research shows that unprotected protein drugs pose safety risks with repeated use, and the contamination rate of injections after 7 hours of storage is less than 18%. Therefore, adding preservatives to the growth hormone solution can effectively reduce the risk of contamination.
