Is Norditropin Or Humatrope Better For Diabetes?

Knowing that the basic chemical formulation and the desired end result of the two medications in question will be the same - Are there any differences in a patients response to the side reactions of Humatrope vs Norditropin...specifically diabetes?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Both of these are somatotropin (growth hormone) and are used for certain growth disorders.

There is no difference between them as far as diabetes is concerned as both of them have to be used cautiously in diabetes and insulin dose adjustments have to be made.

Norditropin is better in my experience as it dosen't need refrigarating and is already premixed but it is expensive compared to humanotrope.

So basically, it's all indivual based prioritization.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Muhammad Adnan Iqbal
