Why Take Belitropina ® ?

Hormones are messengers

Hormones are chemical “messengers” produced in one part of the body that travel to another part of the body to create some sort of change.

Special cells in glands and other organs produce hormones and release them into the body at specific times for specific reasons, depending upon the type of hormone. The hormones’ job is to tell parts of the body to do certain things. They travel through the bloodstream to their “target organ” or tissue, where they exert their effect by giving their instructions.

Growth hormone tells the body to grow

What is growth hormone? Growth hormone is made in the pituitary gland, which is located at the base of the brain. It does a lot more than just make a child grow taller; it’s responsible for the growth of the body, including organs and bones, and it helps the body’s metabolic processes.

When growth hormone is released from the pituitary gland, it “tells” the liver to release a second hormone, called insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1).

Together, growth hormone and IGF-1 tell the bones, muscles, and other organs and tissues to grow by adding more cells.

What Belitropina ® does

In people with growth hormone deficiency, Belitropina® (somatropin [rDNA origin] injection) replaces the growth hormone that the body isn’t making.
