Children need growth hormone to help them grow, but adults also need it for their general health. NORDITROPIN NORDIFLEX IS USED TO TREAT GROWTH FAILURE IN CHILDREN: • If they have no or very low production of growth hormone (growth hormone deficiency) • If they have Turner syndrome (a genetic problem which may affect growth) • If they have reduced kidney function • If they are short and were born small for gestational age (SGA) • If they have Noonan syndrome (a genetic problem which may affect growth). NORDITROPIN NORDIFLEX IS USED AS A GROWTH HORMONE REPLACEMENT IN ADULTS: In adults Norditropin NordiFlex is used to replace growth hormone if their growth hormone production has been decreased since childhood or has been lost in adulthood because of a tumour, treatment of a tumour, or a disease that a 전체 문서 읽기

Growth failure due to Noonan syndrome. Adults: Childhood onset growth hormone deficiency: Patients with childhood onset GHD should be re-evaluated for growth hormone secretory capacity after growth completion. Testing is not required for those with more than three pituitary hormone deficits, with severe GHD due to a defined genetic cause, due to structural hypothalamic pituitary abnormalities, due to central nervous system tumours or due to high-dose cranial irradiation, or with GHD secondary to a pituitary/hypothalamic disease or insult, if measurements of serum insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) is < -2 SDS after at least four weeks off growth hormone treatment. In all other patients an IGF-1 measurement and one growth hormone stimulation test is required.
