WHAT SAIZEN IS USED FOR
Saizen is a growth hormone.
In children and adolescents:
•
Treatment of children with short
stature who have failed to grow
because their body produces no
growth hormone or insufficient
levels of growth hormone.
•
Treatment of girls who have failed
to grow due to gonadal dysgenesis
(also referred to as Turner
Syndrome), confirmed by a test on
the chromosomes.
•
Treatment of growth problems in
children who were born small and
who have not reached normal height
by the age of 4 years or later.
In adults:
•
Treatment of adults with a marked
lack of growth hormone (growth
hormone deficiency).
This therapy is given to adults who
have a serious growth hormone
deficiency that has been medically
diagnosed by a test.
HOW SAIZEN WORKS
Saizen's main action is to increase
growth in children and adolescents
and to treat adults with growth
hormone deficiency. The growth
hormone (somatropin) contained in
Saizen is almost the same as human’s
natural growth hormone except that it
is made outside the body by a process
called “recombinant DNA
technology” (genetic engineering).
BEFORE YOU USE SAIZEN
_- When you must not use it _
•
If you or your child are allergic
(hypersensitive) to somatropin or
any of the other ingredients of
Saizen.
•
If you or your child’s bones have
stopped growing and therefore
reached the final height.
•
If you have an active tumour
(cancer). Tumours must be inactive
and you must have finished your
anti - tumour treatment before you
start your treatment with Saizen.
•
If you or your child have an acute
critical illness, suffering
complications following open heart
surgery, abdominal surg
