Somatrogon

Meaning

Somatrogon is a recombinant human growth hormone analog developed for the treatment of pediatric growth hormone deficiency (GHD), distinguished by its extended half-life allowing for once-weekly subcutaneous administration. This long-acting therapeutic agent is engineered to provide a consistent, stable profile of growth hormone activity over seven days. Its clinical benefit lies in significantly reducing the injection frequency compared to the traditional daily somatropin regimen, thereby enhancing patient compliance.
