Omnitrope can be quite beneficial in treating patients with growth hormone deficiencies. However, like all drugs, it has some potential side effects and adverse reactions.
The following comprehensive list of benefits and side effects are the same for Omnitrope Pen or vials.
Omnitrope is a brand of prescription HGH injections made by Sandoz Pharmaceuticals. It is one of the most popular brands of HGH prescribed to treat growth hormone deficiencies. All HGH injections, including Omnitrope, are the same medication known as somatropin. Somatropin is a synthetic form of human growth hormone (HGH) that is made from recombinant DNA. Therefore, it is almost an exact duplicate of the HGH normally produced by your pituitary gland.
Because Omnitrope is made from human DNA, it is very well tolerated; however, like any prescription medication, it is not without some risk of side effects and adverse effects. For most patients, however, the many benefits of Omnitrope far outweigh any risks, side effects, or potential adverse events.
Before we discuss the benefits of Omnitrope, let’s talk a little about HGH, what it is, and why it is so important.
Human growth hormone, or HGH, is one of your body’s most important hormones. It is made and released by the pituitary gland. As the name implies, it is responsible for growth and all the related processes that allow a child to grow and mature into an adult of full stature. Even as adults, HGH continues to play a crucial role in the cell growth and renewal of every organ and tissue in your body.
Because HGH is so vital, any kind of growth hormone deficiency, or GHD, can result in severe consequences. GHD in children can be caused by any disease or syndrome that impacts pituitary function. Childhood GHD is marked by a failure to reach growth milestones for a given age.
GHD in adults or elderly patients can be the result of a childhood GHD that went untreated or was treated improperly and continued into adulthood. But, more often than not, HGH deficiency in adults is caused by the normal drop in HGH as we age. This is known as “adult-onset” or “age-related” GHD, and it can cause any number of issues, from fatigue and sexual dysfunction to cognitive difficulties and emotional issues.
In either case, the treatment for GHD is prescription HGH injections like Omnitrope.
For patients suffering from GHD, in particular adult onset or age-related GHD, the benefits of Omnitrope injections are many. In fact, many of the symptoms we think of as aging can be slowed or reversed by HGH injections. The benefits of Omnitrope include:
Omnitrope is FDA-approved and generally regarded as safe. However, like any medication, it does have some potential adverse effects, warnings, and contraindications.

Some of the potentially severe, though far less common, side effects of this drug include:
Do not use this medication without proper medical advice.
Only take your prescribed dose of this medication.
Before accepting a prescription for Omnitrope, tell your doctor if you have ever had an allergic reaction to a growth hormone medicine or drug preservatives such as benzyl alcohol, metacresol, or glycerin.
In addition to the contraindications listed above, you should not take Omnitrope® if you are allergic to somatropin or if you have:
There could be some drug interactions with Omnitrope. Tell your healthcare provider about any drugs you may be taking, including OTC medications and supplements.

Your prescription for this medication will be tailored to your needs, goals, and lifestyle.

While the above list of Omnitrope risks, warnings, and side effects can seem daunting, we must list all such information for legal reasons. The truth is that for most patients, the many benefits of Omnitrope far outweigh any potential risks. Most of our patients who have been prescribed Omnitrope go through their course of growth hormone therapy with few, if any, complications.
You will be carefully monitored during your time on this medication, and in the rare instance that adverse effects arise, they can usually be mitigated by adjusting your dose or switching to another brand of HGH.
An important note about the potential side effects of Omnitrope. The chances of side effects are increased many times if you use Omnitrope or any HGH product illegally. Somatropin products are powerful medications that are only available with a doctor’s prescription for good reason. Abusing or otherwise using HGH illicitly can result in severe, even fatal, side effects. If you think you can benefit from Omnitrope, NEVER try to get it independently without a prescription.
