Saizen
Human Growth Hormone Replacement Therapy
Saizen is
one of a small, but growing number of legal HGH Hormone Replacement
Therapy medications in the United States. Saizen is produced by the
pharmaceutical manufacturer Merck Serono. Merck Serono is one of the
largest drug manufacturers in the world, and is based in Geneva,
Switzerland. This company is not to be confused with the domestic
pharmaceutical company Merck & Company, and in North America,
Merck Serono is known as EMD Serono. Saizen is an injectable form of
Synthetic Human Growth Hormone.
The
History of HGH
Originally,
HGH Hormone Treatments were made from real Growth Hormone harvested
from human tissue, but in the year 1981, medical researchers were
able to figure out a way to synthetically produce Bio-Identical HGH
in a laboratory. Before it was possible to manufacture Bio-Identical
Human Growth Hormone, HGH treatments were far more costly than they
are today, and as a result of this breakthrough, and others since,
Human Growth Hormone Injectable Therapy has continued to become
cheaper and more affordable to the average consumer.
Saizen
Human Growth Hormone is Simple and Easy to Use
Saizen HGH
follows in that legacy of making Growth Hormone cheaper and easier to
use. The following are a number of products released by Serono in
order to perform HGH Hormone Replacement Therapy:
Saizen
HGH Therapy Administration Devices
Saizen
Cool.Click HGH Treatment
The Saizen
cool.click is a revolutionary means of delivering Human Growth
Hormone. Although the HGH is still delivered subcutaneously via
injection, the Saizen cool.click does not need a needle! The
cool.click works by creating a small hole through which Saizen Human
Growth Hormone is delivered. This tiny hole is produced using a
spring mechanism. In the past, many people have been nervous about
HGH Hormone Replacement because before this point, the only way to
deliver HGH was directly through a potentially imposing needle. Many
people just can't commit to any medical therapy which requires them
to stick themselves with a needle every day.
Although
the Saizen cool.click was the first needle-free means of delivering
HGH Hormone Replacement Therapy, EMD Sorono has updated the design to
increase ease of use, comfort, and accuracy, with an updated version
known as the Saizen cool.click2.
EMD Serono
lists the following features of the Saizen cool.click2:
Needle-less
delivery This form of HGH Delivery vastly reduces needle
anxiety.
Easy-to-read
LCD monitor The monitor displays dosing information and can
ensure that a patient delivers exactly enough Saizen HGH in order to
properly treat his or her HGH Deficiency.
Thoughtful
shape and design the Saizen cool.click2 is ergonomically
configured in order to maximize ease of use.
Reduced
noise the cool.click2 is much quieter than its previous design,
allowing you to deliver HGH without bringing attention to yourself.
Reverse
dosage dialing this mechanism allows the patient to adjust and
readjust dosage at any point before administering HGH Hormone
Replacement Therapy.
Alterable
injection pressure This HGH Injection Tool lets you adjust the
rate at which the spring mechanism pierces the skin, allowing you to
minimize potential discomfort at the injection site.
Safer
than needles Because of the way that the cool.click2 is
designed, there is virtually no risk of accidentally pricking
yourself. The spring mechanism only exposes itself at your command,
and you don't have to cautiously prepare a needle for every
injection.
Delivers
doses in both milligrams and milliliters the cool.click2 can
adapt to different measurement scales, allowing you to dose
accurately in regard to both mass and volume.
HGH
Therapy with Saizen Easypod
Like the
Saizen cool.click, the Saizen easypod is another product produced by
EMD Serono which is designed with comfort and ease of use
particularly in mind. The easypod is a simple-to-use injection device
which quickly and accurately delivers injections of Bio-Identical
HGH.
The
easypod is what is known as an easy injector. This means that
the easypod is a means to deliver injections of HGH without the
vigorous protocol of a standard needle injection. The Saizen easypod
has the capability of quickly and automatically titrating the
appropriate dose of HGH. Upon pressing the trigger button, the
machine automatically provides an injection of Human Growth Hormone,
minimizing the amount of potential contact the you will make with the
needle.
The Saizen
easypod exclusively uses cartridges known as Saizen click.easy in
order to deliver the intended dosage. The click.easy device serves
two primary purposes. First, the click.easy is a reconstitution
device. The Saizen Human Growth Hormone is combined with a fully
sanitized solution in order both to rehydrate anhydrous HGH and to
convert the Human Growth Hormone into a deliverable form. Second, the
click.easy is a delivery device.
The
click.easy is designed and shaped in a way which allows the patient
to use it in combination with the Saizen easypod in order to maximize
safety and ease of delivery. The Saizen easypod can be used
repeatedly in order to deliver HGH injections as long as it is
properly maintained, and new needles are use for every injection. The
easypod has a large monitor which allows patients of all ages to
easily see and understand the instructions and options provided by
the device.
The
easypod also provides multiple means of decreasing discomfort
associated with injection. The individual patient can adjust
injection administration via four distinct settings: Needle Speed,
Injection Speed, Injection Depth, Injection Time.
HGH
Easypod Settings
Needle
Speed This setting adjusts the speed at which the needle is
injected through the skin. Using this method is much more precise
than performing a manual injection.
Injection
Speed This refers to the rate by which the Saizen Human
Growth Hormone is delivered into the body. This setting is a
substitute for manually adjusting the speed using the plunger of a
needle.
Injection
Depth With this setting, you can alter the depth at which the
needle descends. Dependent upon the location of the injection,
different depths may be required. In addition to this, some may find
that deeper injections cause increased discomfort. Injection depth
also depends upon which needle the patient uses.
Injection
Time This prompt controls the amount of time that the needle
remains in the skin after injection. Some patients find it more
comfortable to increase the time between injection and needle
removal.
The Saizen
easypod also maintains a diary of past injections, allowing both you
and your physician to have a record of your injection schedule. The
goal of the Saizen easypod is to reduce the effort it takes to
undergo safe and effective Human Growth Hormone Injections while also
minimizing pain or discomfort which can result from the use of
needles. The easypod even allows you to input expiration dates to
ensure that you dispose of your reconstituted synthetic Human Growth
Hormone as soon as it becomes expired and ineffective.
Saizen
one.click HGH Injector
The Saizen
one.click is another means of injecting Saizen Human Growth Hormone.
Like the easypod, the one.click is another injection device which
focuses on being easy to use. The one.click is a much simpler device
than the easypod. This product is mechanical only and features no
monitor or electrical equipment of any kind.
The
one.click has an adjustable dial which controls how much Human Growth
Hormone you inject in a single dose. In addition to this, you can
also adjust the depth of the needle injection manually. One of the
primary advantages of the Saizen one.click is that it is simple to
store and easy to carry and conceal. Also, because the one.click is a
completely mechanical device, it is cheaper than the easypod while
also being easier to use than a standard injection.
The Saizen
one.click automatically delivers the HGH injection with a single
click, minimizing the time it takes to deliver the injection. The
device itself also minimizes potential inappropriate contact with the
needle as well. As with all forms of Recombinant Human Growth
Hormone, the reconstituted solution should be stored at temperatures
between 36 and 46 degrees Fahrenheit in order for the hormone to
remain effective and useful.
Saizen
click.easy
The Saizen
click.easy is the simplest injection device that Merck-Serono
provides. This product still has the capability of injecting HGH
Hormone Replacement Therapy quicker and more simply than a standard
injection, but lacks all of the bells and whistles associated with
the other Saizen Delivery Devices. This product still minimizes
needle exposure and also delivers a subcutaneous injection with a
single click, however. This device is for patients who want a quick
and easy way to inject HGH Therapy without the need or desire to make
more precise adjustments with other more high-tech injection devices.
How is
Saizen HGH Supplied?
Saizen is
generally provided to the patient via two means:
HGH
Direct Injection
For
patients who are not interested in using the Saizen Delivery devices
listed above, there is the option of simply delivering the Human
Growth Hormone via needle and syringe. For patients who are
interested in administering HGH in this way, Saizen is available in
vials. Saizen vials are available in two different sizes. Both 5
milligram vials and 8.8 milligram vials are available. These vials
contain lyophilized Bio-Synthetic Human Growth Hormone. HGH is highly
sensitive in its normal form, and must be freeze-dried and
hermetically sealed in order to survive periods of extended storage
and transport. When the Saizen is ready to be used, the powdered HGH
must be reconstituted with a diluent. The diluent is a sterilized,
clear solution that does not interact with the HGH molecule and can
deliver the medication into subcutaneous tissue.
HGH
Cartridge Delivery
For
patients who wish to use delivery devices such as those listed above,
Merck-Serono provides Saizen HGH Cartridges which are designed
especially to be used with Saizen Human Growth Hormone Administration
Devices. Saizen cartridges contain both lyophilized Human Growth
Hormone and the sterilized diluent, separated by a small barrier.
When you are ready to use the Saizen HGH Cartridge in one of the
devices listed above, you will insert the cartridge into the device
and follow the instructions provided with the device in order to
combine and reconstitute the solution. After the cartridge of Human
Growth Hormone has been activated and given time to fully hydrate,
the solution is ready for injection. There are a few different
options for the Saizen Cartridge, and these options are dependent
upon both the size and strength of your individual dose.
Saizen
Questions
At
what Temperature Should Saizen be Stored?
Like all
forms of Bio-Identical Human Growth Hormone, Saizen must be properly
stored in order to remain potent. Lyophilized Saizen which has not
been combined with diluent can be safely stored at room temperature
(between 59 and 86 degrees Fahrenheit). After reconstitution, Saizen
should always be refrigerated, except when it is immediately going to
be used for injection. Reconstituted Saizen HGH should be stored
between temperatures of 36 and 46 degrees Fahrenheit.
Does
Saizen Contain Preservatives?
Saizen
does contain
preservatives in order to maximize the length of time that HGH is
stable and usable. The vial form of Saizen contains benzyl alcohol,
and the cartridge form of Saizen contains metacresol.
How
Often Should I Take Saizen Injections?
The
frequency with which you administer HGH Hormone Injections is
completely dependent upon your physician's advice. Generally,
injections are delivered once daily, just before bed, but there are a
number of other options available which will not have a negative
effect on your therapy. Nightly injections are thought to have the
most beneficial effect on sleep and the cortisol cycle. Some prefer
to take their doses early in the morning, or before engaging in
exercise. Injecting before exercise is believed by some to increase
the effectiveness of exercise, reducing fatigue and feeling of
exhaustion. Some physicians even recommend that certain patients take
two small doses each day rather than one larger dose once per day. It
all depends on your age, goals, and needs as a patient.
What
Are Saizen's Side-Effects?
The
majority of patients will suffer from no side effects, or only the
most minor symptoms. The most common symptoms are injection site
irritation and possible headaches. Adult patients may rarely
experience increased blood sugar, joint pain, and swelling as a
result of Saizen. If any of these symptoms occur, please talk to your
doctor.
