Humatrope
5 mg Vial for HGH Replacement Therapy
What is
Humatrope?
Humatrope
is a Bio-Identical form of Recombinant Human Growth Hormone made by
Eli Lily. There are two primary ways that Humatrope is injected:
Using the HumatroPen and using a standard needle and vial.
When you
receive receive Humatrope, you will find that it comes in a Humatrope
Kit, which holds a vial of lyophilized Humatrope measuring five
milligrams, and a vial of reconstituting fluid, or diluent, which
also measures five milliliters. Before using for the first time, the
diluent and the lyophilized HGH much be combined.
What
does Lyophilized mean?
Lyophilized
means that the Humatrope has been freeze-dried to help it store and
travel better. Reconstituted Human Growth Hormone has a relatively
short shelf life in comparison, and is much less resistant to
tampering. Your Humatropin will appear as a fine, white powder.

Growth Hormone Deficiency, or another condition for which
Bio-Identical Humatrope is indicated. Humatrope cannot be purchased
legally off-label.

if you are interested in HGH Injection Therapy. They can perform the

What
Are the Advantages of Humatrope Vial vs. the HumatroPen?
Both of these forms of Recombinant Human Growth Hormone Replacement
Therapy are highly effective at treating both Childhood and
Adult-Onset HGH Deficiency. Overall, buying Humatrope by the vial is
more cost effective than buying the HumatroPen HGH Pen and the
necessary cartridges.
What
are the Disadvantages of the Humatrope Vial vs. the HumatroPen?
The main advantage of the HumatroPen is that it is easier to use.
Both the Cartridges and the Vials require Reconstitution before use,
but you only have to replace needles with the HumatroPen, because the
device does not use syringes. Reconstituted HumatroPen Cartridges
also keep for two weeks longer than Reconstituted Humatrope Vials.

Humatrope
Vial General Information
Never
share or reuse needles under any circumstances. This increases the
risk of illness, infection, and irritation, and can be very
dangerous.
In
order for Injectable Humatrope to be effective, it is important to
always administer the treatment on schedule, and to always deliver
the dose prescribed, no more and no less.
Some
patients may be allergic to ingredients used in the diluent,
including glycerine and metacresol. There are substitute forms of
HGH mixing liquid available for patients that are allergic. If you
or a loved one experience an allergic reaction to Humatrope HGH
Injections, contact your medical representative as soon as possible.
The
diluent that comes with the Humatrope Vial is designed and intended
for use with Bio-Identical Humatrope HGH. Never use an alternative
form of diluent unless advised by your physician, because this can
affect the medication, most notably the shelf-life of the treatment.
How Do
I Store Humatrope 5 mg Vials?
Bio-Identical Humatrope is very temperature-sensitive, and must be
held under refrigeration whenever you aren't using it. This applies
to the HGH Product in both its lyophilized and reconstituted forms.
Maintain the Human Growth Hormone at a temperature between 36-46
degrees. Unlike Humatrope Cartridges, which last 4 weeks,
Reconstituted Humatrope Vials are only good for 2 weeks, and must be
disposed of on their expiration date.

After
you have reconstituted your Humatrope with its diluent, you must use
the product within two weeks. If you use sterilized water for
reconstitution, the medication must be injected within 24 hours.
It is
important to use your Humatrope Injections on schedule. If you are
traveling, we provide a special cooler device that will protect the
potency of your HGH as you travel, complete with freezable gel
packs.

Humatrope
Reconstitution Step-by-Step
Wash your hands well
Inspect the expiration date on both the Humatrope and Diluent Vials
Take off the plastic cover on the vial and clean the stopper beneath
with an alcohol swab
Remove the needle cover from your syringe. Pull back on the plunger
until the air that is in the syringe is equivalent to the volume of
diluent you wish to draw.
Hold
the Diluent Vial firmly and pierce it with the needle. Depress the
plunger slowly to carefully evacuate the air into the vial.
Turn
the syringe and vial on their heads. Pull back on the plunger until
you have drawn the recommended amount of diluent, plus just a little
extra.
Inspect
the syringe for bubbles. Touch the syringe lightly to release the
bubbles to the top of the syringe. Push the air and the extra
diluent back into the vial. Make sure you have the appropriate
amount of diluent and lay the syringe aside on a clean alcohol swab.
Pick
up the Humatrope Growth Hormone Vial and carefully remove the
plastic cover. Disinfect the underlying stopper with an alcohol
swab.
Take
the diluent-filled syringe and pierce the Humatrope Vial with the
needle. Release the diluent down the wall of the vial so that the
liquid gradually makes contact with the lyophilized Humatrope. After
you have delivered the diluent, draw out the needle.
Throw
away both the syringe and the needle in an approved container.
Take
the vial between your hands and spin it slowly with your palms. You
may also agitate the vial carefully in a swirling motion. Don't
shake the vial, however. Look into the solution and ensure that the
HGH Product is free of both particles, cloudiness, or color. If
something appears amiss, contact your HGH Doctor.
Mark
the Reconstituted Human Growth Hormone with a Sharpie to indicate
the date at which the HGH Medication was mixed. Place under
refrigeration and toss the leftover diluent.

Supplies
Required for Humatrope Injection
How to
Measure a Humatrope Vial Dose
Make sure your hands are washed. Inspect the date on the Humatrope
Reconstituted HGH Vial, to make sure the product is still fresh.
Only use the solution if it is both clear and cloudless.
Clean the top of the vial with an alcohol swab.
Take the guard off of the tip of your needle. Draw the plunger back
until the volume inside equals the amount of HGH you want.
Stick the needle into the Recombinant HGH Vial. Push the air into
the vial. Do it carefully as not to make bubbles.
Turn the Humatrope vial over, with the needle inside. Pull in the
volume of HGH that you'd like to inject, plus just a bit more.
Agitate the side of the syringe carefully to remove any hanging
bubbles. Once all air is at the top of the solution, push it back
into the vial. Make sure you still have the appropriate dose of
Humatrope, then pull the needle out of the stopper.
Where
to Inject Humatrope 5 mg Vial
Humatrope is intended for Subcutaneous Injection. This means that you
use a short needle to inject the medication into the deepest layers
of the skin, where it will slowly disseminate into the body over 24
hours. The entire body is lined with this layer, but some areas are
thicker than others. The following are the ideal locations to inject
your Humatrope HGH:
Below the shoulder and above the elbow, at the back of the arm.
The outer, upper buttocks
The tops of the thighs
Any area of the front of your stomach, other than the area
immediately adjacent your bellybutton
How to
Inject Humatrope 5 mg Vial
Clean the area you wish to inject with an alcohol swab. Start
exactly where you want to inject and clean in a circle extending
from that location. Let the alcohol evaporate.
Grip an area of skin between your fingers to raise it slightly. This
makes it easier to hit your mark with the injection. Push the needle
into the skin quickly but firmly.
Carefully depress the plunger so that the entire dose is delivered
into the body. Release the skin, wait a few moments, and draw the
needle out the same way that you pushed it in. You may see just a
bit of blood. If so, use a bit of gauze or cotton to depress the
area, and use a bandage if necessary.
Toss the syringe and needle into your approved container as soon as
you are finished with your injection, and put your Humatrope back
under refrigeration.
