WHAT NGENLA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Ngenla contains the active substance somatrogon, a modified form of
human growth hormone. Natural
human growth hormone is needed for bones and muscles to grow. It also
helps your fat and muscle
tissues to develop in the right amounts. Ngenla is used to treat
children and adolescents from 3 years
of age who do not have enough growth hormone and are not growing at
the normal rate.
The active substance in Ngenla is made by 'recombinant DNA
technology'. This means that it is grown
in cells that have been modified in the laboratory so that they can
produce it.
