Question
The child has been thoroughly examined and found to have a complete lack of growth hormone, and it is necessary to administer growth hormone. The parent asks the doctor about the price comparison between growth hormone powder and liquid formulations, and how to choose?
Answer
The growth hormone liquid formulation has a better growth-promoting effect compared to the powder formulation, as it has a higher bioavailability. The difference in timing between using the powder and the liquid formulation mainly depends on the variation in growth rate. In addition, the child’s diet, deep sleep, activity, and psychological stress also have a significant impact on growth rate. Using the liquid formulation with an electronic analgesic pen can reduce dependence and completely eliminate the fear of anesthesia.
