Precaution

Important Precaution Points

• Individuals with diabetes should be carefully monitored as growth hormone may affect insulin sensitivity and blood sugar levels during therapy.

• Active or previous cancer conditions require strict specialist evaluation before use due to hormonal influence on cell growth.

• Thyroid imbalance can reduce treatment effectiveness, so thyroid levels should be corrected before or during therapy.

• Patients with increased intracranial pressure should use caution as growth hormone therapy may worsen related symptoms in rare cases.

• Regular monitoring is important to ensure correct dosing and to avoid excessive hormone exposure.

• Any allergic history to hormonal injections should be reported before starting treatment.
