Tev Tropin – Recombinant Human Growth Hormone Therapy

What It Is

• Active Ingredient: Somatropin (rDNA origin), identical in amino acid sequence to natural human growth hormone.
• Formulation: Lyophilized powder for subcutaneous injection, supplied in 5 mg and 10 mg vials with diluent.
• Manufacturer: Teva Pharmaceuticals.
• Status: The brand name Tev‑Tropin has been discontinued in the U.S., but generic equivalents of somatropin remain available.

Medical Uses

Tev‑Tropin was prescribed for:

• Children:
  • Growth hormone deficiency.
  • Turner syndrome.
  • Noonan syndrome.
  • Chronic kidney disease‑related growth failure.
  • Short stature at birth with no catch‑up growth.
• Adults:
  • Growth hormone deficiency.
  • AIDS‑related severe weight loss (wasting).
  • Short bowel syndrome.

Benefits

• Stimulates Growth: Promotes linear growth in children with deficiency.
• Metabolic Effects: Improves protein synthesis, lean body mass, and energy utilization.
• Recovery Support: Helps reduce wasting and improve nutritional absorption in short bowel syndrome.
• Quality of Life: Enhances strength, stamina, and overall well‑being in deficient patients.

Risks & Considerations

Like all growth hormone therapies, Tev‑Tropin carried potential risks:

• Common Side Effects: Injection site reactions, joint pain, swelling, headaches.
• Serious Risks: Risk of increased intracranial pressure, glucose intolerance, and potential tumor growth stimulation.
• Monitoring Required: Therapy required regular medical supervision, including growth tracking, metabolic panels, and imaging when indicated.

Key Takeaway

Tev‑Tropin was a recombinant human growth hormone therapy used for growth failure and metabolic disorders, but it is now discontinued in the U.S. Patients requiring somatropin therapy today are prescribed generic or alternative branded versions such as Genotropin, Norditropin, or Humatrope

Tev Tropin is a human-made hormone that is equivalent to the human growth hormone naturally produced in your body. It is a polypeptide developed through DNA recombinant technology and has somatropin as its main ingredient. It is used to treat health conditions like Growth hormone deficiency, Turner’s Syndrome, chronic kidney disease, idiopathic short stature, Noonan syndrome and other hormonal imbalances in adults. It is also used to treat short bowel syndrome and weight loss in people who have AIDS. Tev Tropin has a molecular structure that is very similar to the human growth hormone. It can effectively treat the growth hormone deficiency caused by the hormonal imbalance.

What is Growth hormone?

Human growth hormone (HGH) is the secretion of the pituitary gland located in the brain. As you age, the pituitary gland starts producing less of this hormone. A reduction of this hormone can cause hormonal imbalance and affect the general metabolism of your body. This hormone mainly regulates the following:

1. Fat and sugar metabolism
2. Body fluids
3. Muscle mass
4. Cardiovascular health

Preparation and usage

Tev Tropin comes in two potencies of 5mg and 10mg. Each vial of Tev tropin comes with a diluent solution for preparing the reconstituted liquid for the injections. It is a highly purified preparation and has a pH value of 7.0 – 8.0.

You can prepare these injections at home after getting the instructions from your doctor.

The prepared injection solution, as well as the unopened vials of the medicine, should be refrigerated till you use. Make sure you bring the injection liquid to room temperature before taking the shot. The reconstituted solution of the injection should be clear and does not have any particles in it. If you observe any cloudiness in the liquid, please discard the medicine.

You can take Tev Tropin as shots under the skin. You have to rotate the areas for injection in your body to avoid bruising and infection. You can administer this medicine in upper arms, upper thighs, stomach and upper buttocks.
