What is Norditropin

Treating certain children or adults whose bodies do not produce enough growth hormone. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.
Norditropin is a growth hormone. It works by stimulating growth in patients who do not make enough natural growth hormone.

Important safety information:

• Severe and sometimes fatal lung and breathing problems have occurred with the use of Norditropin in certain children with Prader-Willi syndrome. These children were usually either very overweight or had severe breathing problems. The risk may be greater in boys. Children with Prader-Willi syndrome should have certain breathing tests before they start Norditropin. They should be monitored for signs of lung or airway infection. They should also have an effective form of weight control. Contact the doctor at once if the patient develops irregular breathing during sleep, new or increased snoring, or symptoms of lung or airway infection (eg, fever, coughing, sore throat, shortness of breath, chest pain or discomfort).
• Pancreas inflammation (pancreatitis) has been reported rarely in patients who take Norditropin. The risk may be greater in children, especially in girls who have Turner syndrome. Contact your doctor right away if you develop stomach or back pain.
• An increased risk of a second cancer has been seen in patients that had certain types of cancer as a child and received Norditropin to treat the lack of growth hormone. Discuss any questions or concerns with your doctor.
• Rarely, children using Norditropin have experienced a slipped growth plate in the hip. Contact the doctor right away if the patient develops hip or knee pain or a limp.
• Rarely, increased pressure in the head has been reported in patients using somatropin. The risk may be greater in patients with Turner syndrome or Prader-Willi syndrome. Symptoms usually occurred within the first 8 weeks after the start of treatment. The symptoms have gone away after the dose was lowered or treatment was stopped. Discuss any questions or concerns with your doctor. Contact your doctor right away if you develop symptoms such as vision changes or severe headache, nausea, or vomiting.
• Norditropin may contain benzyl alcohol or phenol. Tell your doctor if you have ever had an allergic reaction to benzyl alcohol or phenol.
• Norditropin may raise your blood sugar. High blood sugar may make you feel confused, drowsy, or thirsty. It can also make you flush, breathe faster, or have a fruit-like breath odor. If these symptoms occur, tell your doctor right away.
• Diabetes patients - Norditropin may affect your blood sugar. Check blood sugar levels closely. Ask your doctor before you change the dose of your diabetes medicine.
• Lab tests, including blood sugar levels, thyroid function, and eye exams, may be performed while you use Norditropin. These tests may be used to monitor your condition or check for side effects. Be sure to keep all doctor and lab appointments.
