Exogenous GH Administration

Meaning

Exogenous GH Administration refers to the precise clinical practice of introducing synthetic or recombinant human growth hormone (somatropin) into the body via injection to supplement or fully replace the naturally produced endogenous hormone. This powerful therapy is primarily indicated for documented growth hormone deficiency in both pediatric and adult populations, aiming to restore physiological levels and subsequent IGF-1 signaling. It is a potent anabolic intervention requiring precise, individualized dosing and extremely careful clinical monitoring due to its broad and systemic metabolic effects.
