Growth hormone has become a hot topic to solve the problem of children's height. In this field, long-acting growth hormone has attracted much attention, but its *** has caused concern among parents. This article will discuss in depth the effects of long-acting growth hormone and whether it is associated with diabetes.
Injection site reactions: Long-acting growth hormone injections may cause local reactions such as pain, redness, swelling, itching, but usually go away on their own within a few days of the injection.
Elevated blood sugar: Long-acting growth hormone use can cause blood sugar to rise, especially in the days after the injection. Monitoring blood glucose levels and adjusting drug dosages as appropriate becomes necessary.
Systemic reactions: Long-acting growth hormone may cause general discomfort such as bone and muscle pain, headache, fatigue, etc., which usually gradually lessen within a few days after the injection.
Cardiovascular effects: In rare cases, the use of long-acting growth hormone may cause cardiovascular problems such as high blood pressure and arrhythmias.
Lipoatrophy risk: Studies have shown that long-acting growth hormone use may lead to lipoatrophy, with a rate of up to 16% of side effects.
Financial burden: Long-acting growth hormone** is expensive, not in line with the financial affordability of most families, and the annual cost is generally high.
Dosage: Long-acting growth hormone is used in relatively large doses and may have potential health concerns for your child.
Contains preservatives: Long-acting growth hormone contains preservatives, and in order to prevent spoilage, it is administered less frequently and stored for a longer time, increasing the risk of use.
Overall, the market time of long-acting growth hormone is relatively short, and its safety data are insufficient, and the effect is difficult to ensure. Although the reduction in the number of injections is its advantage, the high cost** and safety risks make it somewhat limited in practical use. It is worth noting that the only preservative-free growth hormone water on the market is the short-acting water agent of Anke Biotech, and more efforts are needed to remove preservatives from children's drugs. When choosing HGH, parents need to carefully weigh the pros and cons to ensure that they are making an informed decision for their child.
