HumatroPen
HGH Delivery Device
The HumatroPen is a device intended for the safe and effective
administration of Humatrope Recombinant HGH Therapy. The HumatroPen
Pen comes in three sizes, dependent upon the size of the HGH
Cartridge: 6 milligrams, 12 milligrams, and 24 milligrams. Although
these three devices function identically, they are not
interchangeable and require their own specific Pens and Cartridges.
Who
Makes the HumatroPen?
The HumatroPen, and Humatrope Human Growth Hormone are products
created and distributed by the pharmaceutical company Eli Lily.
Who Can
Use Humatrope?
Because Humatrope is a form of Human Growth Hormone Replacement
Therapy, the prescription and use of the medication is only allowed
for the treatment of the following medical conditions:
HGH Injection Therapy can also be used for the treatment of AIDS/HIV
Related Cachexia, but the only form of Human Growth Hormone indicated
for this purpose is Serostim Human Growth Hormone.

HumatroPen Information
In order
to maximize the benefits and efficacy of treatment, it is vitally
important to follow all of your physician's instructions with regard
to proper technique and utilization of this HGH Device. Not properly
heeding advice could lead you to not receiving enough HGH, which
could severely reduce the effectiveness of treatment, or could lead
you to inject too much Bio-Identical Human Growth Hormone, which
could lead to symptoms of overdose.
Under no
circumstances should you change the dose that you administer either
to yourself or to a loved one. If you change cartridge sizes, you
will have to change your particular HumatroPen device to compensate.
How to
Clean the HumatroPen
The
HumatroPen HGH Injection Pen should never be submerged in water or
alcohol, and lubricants should never be used. The appropriate means
to clean the pen is to simply wipe it down with a moist cloth.
How to
Store the HumatroPen
After the
Humatrope Cartridge has been installed into your HumatroPen, the
product is good for up to 28 days as long as it is properly taken
care of. Keep your active HumatroPen device under refrigeration at no
more than 46 degrees and no less than 36 degrees. Freezing will
irreparably damage the product and should be avoided at all costs.
Before
starting the injection process, allow the Humatrope Cartridge to warm
up for ten minutes. Injecting cold Humatrope can lead to an
uncomfortable sensation. The Humatrope Product should not be allowed
to rest at room temperature for longer than a half an hour, because
this can reduce the effectiveness of the Recombinant HGH.
Finally,
always remove the needle before storing!
How
Long Does a Single HumatroPen Device Last?
The
HumatroPen has been clinically manufactured to be functional for as
long as three years. It is important to keep a record of your first
use of the device so that you can stop using the product after three
years. After this period has passed, you will need to acquire a new
pen to ensure the effectiveness and efficacy of your Humatrope
Injection Therapy

Frequently Asked Questions
What
Should I do if I forget to perform an injection?
Don't sweat it! It's okay to rarely skip a dose by accident. Just
wait til your next injection is due. There is no benefit to taking
multiple doses in a single day, and this can increase the risk of
side-effects.
What
type of Needle does HumatroPen use?
The particular length and gauge of the needle depends on your
specific needs. The ideal needles for the HumatroPen are Pen Needles
made by Becton, Dickinson, and Company. These needles are not
provided with the HumatroPen and must be acquired separately (may
require prescription).
Do I
Have to Use a New Needle Each Time?
To prevent infection and preserve your health, it is imperative that
you only use needles once. Replacing needles also ensures you don't
clog your needle, and it helps prevent air bubbles. After using the
needle, dispose of it in an approved container that is thick enough
to resist puncture.
Do I
have to reinstall the cartridge with every use?
No. Cartridges are intended for ease of use and provide a number of
doses before they are used up. After installing the cartridge, you
will not have to repeat the process until the current cartridge is
completely empty or expired. Removing the cartridge after every use
will likely cause you to lose doses of Humatrope over time.
What if
the HumatroPen label does not match the Cartridge label?
Before installing a cartridge, always make sure that you are
installing the appropriate cartridge for your particular pen. Your
HumatroPen is designed to be used with a specific cartridge. If you
install the wrong size cartridge, the device will deliver incorrect
doses of medication.
The cartridge that your pen needs is labeled both on the outer casing
and the knob that controls the dosage.
If my
Humatrope is not colorless and clear, what should I do?
If your Humatrope has not fully reconstituted after you have followed
the steps appropriately, take the cartridge and slowly flip it back
and forth in your hand ten times. Bio-Identical HGH is fragile, so it
is vitally important not to shake.
After ten turns, allow the cartridge to rest for three or more
minutes. Repeat the first step of the process another ten times, and
allow the cartridge to rest for five minutes longer. If the Humatrope
still contains particles or clouds, call your medical representative
and ask for help.
What
causes bubbles to form in the HumatroPen Cartridge?
It is natural that the mixing process may leave some bubbles in the
cartridge. Also, bubbles may form if you accidentally leave a needle
in the HumatroPen before placing it in storage. It is important to
remove the needle after every injection.
If a number of air bubbles are in the cartridge, repeat the initial
Cartridge Set Up process in order to get the bubbles out of the
device. If there is a single, tiny bubble in the Cartridge, don't
worry, this is normal, and you can avoid the bubble by following
normal protocol.
What if
I am unable to fit the Humatrope Cartridge into the HumatroPen
In this case, the Cartridge or Pen may be broken or damaged. Slide
the Cartridge very carefully into the HumatroPen and attempt to screw
the Cartridge into place. If this is not possible, call your
prescribing physician and ask for advice.
What do
I do if the trigger resists when I try to deliver the Humatrope dose?
There are a few different reasons why this may occur:
This may mean that you are dealing with a blocked needle. Replace
the needle and try again.
Be careful not to depress the trigger too quickly, because this can
make the trigger more difficult to press.
Also, your doctor may recommend using a larger-gauge needle to make
the injection process go more smoothly.
If the inside of the HumatroPen device becomes soiled, this may also
make the injection process more difficult.
What
does it mean when the Dosage Knob does not return to 0 milliliters
after an injection?
This likely means that your current cartridge of Bio-Identical
Humatrope has been expended. Unlike some other devices, such as the
Norditropin Nordiflex, it is possible to give yourself a partial
dose. The number that is displayed on the dial represents the amount
of Humatrope that you were shorted in your final dose.
Talk to your prescribing physician about what to do in this instance,
and simply dispose of both the empty cartridge and the needle. Under
most circumstances you will simply be told to hold off on the next
dose until the next day. The next day, install a new cartridge and
start the process all over again!
Is it
normal for Humatrope to leak from the HumatroPen HGH Device after my
injection?
It depends on how much liquid has leaked. It is absolutely normal for
one drop to hang onto the needle after your injection. If there is
more, then you may not have received your intended dose for the day.
Under no circumstances should you administer another dose. Talk to
your prescribing physician.
In order to make sure you get the full dose, depress the injection
trigger firmly for five full seconds.
How do
I know that I have completed the HumatroPen Injection Process?
There are two steps which let you know that you are finished with
your injection:
Setting
Up a New Humatrope Cartridge or Replacing an Old Humatrope Cartridge
First
thing's first. Make sure you have the correct Cartridge for the
appropriate HumatropePen. Next, make sure that your Bio-Identical
Humatrope HGH is not expired. The Human Growth Hormone solution in
the cartridge should both be cloudless and clear. Never used expired
Human Growth Hormone of any kind, and never use damaged or broken HGH
Products.
In order
to connect the Humatrope Cartridge, take the tip of the cartridge,
colored white, and use it to nudge back the screw. Take the
Reconstituted Humatrope Cartridge and slide it in into place, before
screwing the Pen and Cartridge together. Keep this cartridge in place
either until the cartridge is expired or empty.
Prepping
the Needle for Humatrope Injection
When you
get a new HumatroPen device, there will be a tab on the outside cap.
Remove this tab and screw the needle carefully onto the Pen without
making contact with the tip. Take off both the Inner Cap and the
Outer Cap. Retain the latter in order to take off the needle after
your injection.
Now turn
the device upwards, so the needle faces the ceiling. Press down on
the Injection Trigger for 5 full seconds. Turn the knob to 0.20
milligrams and continue the previous step until liquid comes out of
the tip. This will ensure that air is removed from the cartridge and
the pen.
Injecting
Bio-Identical Humatrope with the HumatroPen
Once you
are ready to deliver your Humatrope Injection, turn the Dosage Dial
to display the dosage that you have been prescribed. For example, if
you have been prescribed 0.8 milligrams, slowly turn the dial forward
until the display reads 0.8. If you turn the dial too far, slowly
turn the dial back to the appropriate dosage.
From this
point, follow your prescribing physician's instructions with regard
to proper injection protocol, including proper sanitation and
injection site cycling. Once you have inserted the needle, press down
on the trigger for 5 seconds in order to dispense the Humatrope
medication. Look at the Dial and ensure that the dose was injected in
its entirety, with a reading of 0.0.
If the
dial does not read 0.0, this means you did not receive a full dose
and you will have to replace the Cartridge upon your next injection.
Under most circumstances, a single, partial dose won't significantly
effect therapy in any way.
Properly
Disposing of the HGH Needle
Place the
Outer Cap back on the tip of the Human Growth Hormone Needle, then
simply unscrew the needle and carefully replace the Outer Cap as
instructed by your healthcare professional. Remove the capped Needle
by turning counter-clockwise. Throw away as directed by your
healthcare professional. Replace the Pen Cap.
