Eutropin 4IU Injection contains somatropin, which is a recombinant human growth hormone (rHGH). It is primarily used to treat conditions associated with growth hormone deficiency. It is used to treat short stature in adults also.

Brand Name: Eutropin

Composition: Somatropin

   Mechanism of Action:

It stimulates growth and controls metabolism by imitating the action of natural human growth hormone (GH), which is derived from somatropin. It binds to growth hormone (GH) receptors on target cells, particularly in the liver, to stimulate the synthesis of Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1), an essential protein for the development of bone and muscle. Somatropin decreases insulin sensitivity to increase protein synthesis, facilitate fat breakdown, and control glucose metabolism. It helps with tissue regeneration and repair as well as children's linear bone growth. Taken together, these activities help children and adults grow, build muscle, and have healthy metabolisms.
