Description

Genryzon 60 mg/1.2 mL Injection

Genryzon 60 mg/1.2 mL Injection contains Somatrogon, a long-acting recombinant human growth hormone analogue. Doctors use Somatrogon to treat growth hormone deficiency in children and adolescents aged 3 years and older. Somatrogon works like natural human growth hormone and supports normal growth and development.

Genryzon comes in a pre-filled pen containing 60 mg of Somatrogon in 1.2 mL solution. Unlike conventional daily growth hormone injections, Somatrogon provides a longer duration of action and allows once-weekly administration when prescribed by a doctor.

Uses of Genryzon 60 mg/1.2 mL Injection

Genryzon 60 mg/1.2 mL Injection is mainly used for children and adolescents with growth hormone deficiency.

Growth Hormone Deficiency

Somatrogon replaces the growth hormone that the body does not produce adequately. It helps improve growth velocity and supports normal bone and tissue development in children with confirmed growth hormone deficiency.

Growth Disturbances

Doctors may prescribe Somatrogon for children aged 3 years and older who have growth disturbances caused by inadequate secretion of growth hormone.

Long-Acting Growth Hormone Treatment

Somatrogon has a longer duration of action than conventional daily growth hormone preparations. This allows eligible patients to receive Genryzon once a week instead of receiving a growth hormone injection every day.

Therapeutic Effects of Somatrogon

Somatrogon acts on growth hormone receptors in the body and activates processes involved in normal growth. It also increases the production of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), which plays an important role in bone and tissue growth.

Somatrogon supports protein synthesis and influences fat and carbohydrate metabolism. Regular treatment can improve growth in children with growth hormone deficiency when they receive the medicine at the prescribed dose.

Interaction with Other Drugs

Certain medicines can affect the action of Somatrogon or require additional monitoring during treatment.

Corticosteroids

Corticosteroids may reduce some of the growth-promoting effects of growth hormone. Inform the doctor if the child takes corticosteroid medicines regularly.

Diabetes Medicines

Somatrogon can affect glucose metabolism and may influence blood sugar levels. Children receiving insulin or other medicines for diabetes may require regular blood glucose monitoring.

Thyroid Medicines

Growth hormone treatment can affect thyroid function in some patients. The doctor may check thyroid hormone levels during Somatrogon treatment and prescribe thyroid medication if required.

Always inform the doctor about all prescription medicines, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and supplements before starting Genryzon.

Prescription Medicine

Genryzon is a prescription growth hormone medicine. Use Somatrogon only under the supervision of a qualified doctor.

How to Administer Genryzon 60 mg/1.2 mL Injection

Genryzon is administered once weekly by subcutaneous injection. The doctor calculates the Somatrogon dose according to the child’s body weight and treatment requirements.

Injection Sites

You can administer Genryzon under the skin of the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, or upper arms. Rotate the injection site regularly to reduce the risk of repeated irritation or skin reactions.

Dose

The recommended Somatrogon dose is generally 0.66 mg/kg once weekly, but the doctor may adjust the dose according to growth response, IGF-1 levels, and individual treatment requirements.

The 60 mg strength refers to the total amount of Somatrogon contained in the pen and does not mean that the patient should receive 60 mg as a single dose.

Missed Dose

If a weekly Genryzon dose is missed, follow the instructions provided by the treating doctor. Do not administer an additional dose to compensate for a missed injection unless your doctor specifically advises you to do so.

Safety Advice

Breastfeeding

Genryzon is primarily prescribed for children and adolescents with growth hormone deficiency. If breastfeeding is relevant to the patient or caregiver, discuss Somatrogon use with a doctor before treatment.

Alcohol

Genryzon is intended mainly for pediatric patients, so alcohol exposure is generally not relevant to its intended use. Always follow the doctor’s advice regarding medicines and substances used during treatment.

Liver

Tell the doctor if the child has liver disease or any significant liver problem before starting Somatrogon. The doctor will decide whether additional monitoring is necessary.

Kidney

Inform the doctor about any kidney disease before starting Genryzon. Patients with renal impairment may require individual medical assessment.

Lungs

Tell the doctor if the child has significant breathing problems or another serious respiratory condition. The doctor will assess the child’s overall health before prescribing Somatrogon.

Driving

Genryzon is intended for children and adolescents and is not generally expected to affect driving ability. If a patient experiences symptoms that affect alertness or coordination, avoid activities that require full attention and consult a doctor.

Pregnancy

Genryzon is intended for pediatric growth hormone treatment. If pregnancy becomes relevant during treatment, consult a doctor before continuing Somatrogon.

Side Effects of Genryzon 60 mg/1.2 mL Injection

Some patients may experience side effects while using Somatrogon. Commonly reported effects may include:

• Injection-site pain, redness, swelling, or irritation
• Headache
• Joint pain
• Muscle pain
• Swelling or fluid retention
• Reduced thyroid function
• Increased blood sugar
• Injection-site reactions
• Development of antibodies against Somatrogon

Most mild injection-site reactions improve with time. However, inform the doctor if any side effect persists, becomes severe, or affects daily activities.

Serious Side Effects

Seek medical attention if the patient develops severe or persistent headache, vision changes, significant swelling, breathing difficulty, or symptoms of a serious allergic reaction.

Hip or Knee Pain

Tell the doctor if a child develops persistent hip or knee pain, starts limping, or shows changes in walking. These symptoms require medical evaluation during growth hormone treatment.

Word of Advice

Use Genryzon 60 mg/1.2 mL Injection (Somatrogon) exactly as prescribed by the doctor. Do not change the dose or injection schedule without medical advice.

Keep Genryzon refrigerated at 2°C to 8°C and never freeze it. Use a new sterile needle for every injection and dispose of used needles safely. Never share the Genryzon pen or needles with another person.

Regular medical follow-up is important during Somatrogon treatment. The doctor may monitor height, growth rate, IGF-1 levels, thyroid function, blood glucose, and other health parameters to assess the response to treatment.
