What Does Growth Hormone Do?
Growth hormone is made naturally by a small gland in the brain called the pituitary gland. It's very important for helping children grow properly while their bones (growth plates) are still developing.
Doctors can also use a special form called human growth hormone (hGH), made with advanced technology, to help treat certain health conditions. This type of hGH has been safely used since the FDA approved it in 1985. Over the years, the way it's made has improved a lot, which means it now has very few side effects.
Idiopathic Short Stature
Helping Your Child Reach Their Full Growth Potential
Some children are naturally shorter than their peers, even though they are perfectly healthy. When no specific cause is found for their shorter height, this is called idiopathic short stature.
Growth hormone therapy offers a safe and proven way to help these children grow taller. By supporting healthy growth, this treatment can not only improve their final adult height but also boost their self-esteem and confidence as they grow.


Supporting Your Child’s Healthy Growth
Growth Hormone
Growth hormone therapy has been carefully studied and shown to help children grow taller and reach a healthier adult height. Clinical research has proven its benefits for children with both growth hormone deficiency and idiopathic short stature.
When given under the care of a qualified medical professional, growth hormone treatment is considered very safe. Studies show that side effects are rare, and both short-term and long-term risks are minimal when the therapy is properly managed.
