What is Somavert used for?

Somavert (somatropin, injected) is used to treat growth hormone deficiency in certain people and, more specifically, to treat adults with a condition called adult growth hormone deficiency. It replaces or adds growth hormone to help address the hormone shortfall and its effects on growth and body composition [1].

Who typically receives Somavert?

Somavert is prescribed for patients who have been diagnosed with adult growth hormone deficiency and need hormone replacement therapy. It is not used as a general appetite stimulant or for people without a diagnosed growth hormone problem [1].

What does Somavert do in the body?

Somavert provides somatropin (a synthetic form of human growth hormone). By replacing missing growth hormone, it helps support normal growth-related processes and can improve body composition (such as increasing lean body mass) in people with growth hormone deficiency [1].

Important patient question: can it be used for weight loss?

Somavert is not used for weight loss. Its use is tied to an established medical diagnosis of growth hormone deficiency [1].
