Question

What are the differences between growth hormone powder and liquid formulations?

Answer

The long-acting liquid formulation only requires anesthesia once a week, whereas the short-acting liquid and powder formulations require daily anesthesia. Some children may miss doses due to difficulty in taking the medication, which can disrupt the treatment and further undermine their confidence in focusing on therapy. With the long-acting formulation, since the frequency of anesthesia is reduced, missed doses are rare, ensuring a basic guarantee of efficacy, and the risk associated with anesthesia is also reduced.
