Growth Hormone Secretagogue Rules

Meaning

Growth Hormone Secretagogue Rules are the clinical and regulatory guidelines that govern the prescribing, dispensing, and appropriate use of pharmaceutical agents known as Growth Hormone Secretagogues (GHSs), which stimulate the pituitary gland to release endogenous growth hormone (GH). The rules emphasize the necessity of a legitimate medical indication, such as diagnosed GH deficiency, and strictly prohibit their use for non-medical performance enhancement or general anti-aging purposes. These guidelines ensure responsible therapeutic application.
