🧬 ZPTROP 16 IU – SOMATROPIN

16 IU / VIAL – 1 VIAL – 2–8°C

Manufacturer: ZPHC PHARMA

🧪 Product Type

Recombinant Human Growth Hormone (rhGH) — Somatropin.

🔬 Active Ingredient

Somatropin (Human Growth Hormone)

Strength: 16 IU / Vial

Storage: 2–8°C

Format: Vial

📖 Description

ZPTROP 16 IU contains Somatropin, a recombinant form of human growth hormone (GH) that is structurally equivalent to naturally occurring human growth hormone.

Somatropin is an important endocrine hormone involved in growth, tissue development, protein synthesis, lipid metabolism, and regulation of IGF-1 activity.

⚙️ Mechanism of Action

Somatropin binds to growth hormone receptors located on various tissues throughout the body.

Its activity stimulates the production of Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1), primarily in the liver. GH and IGF-1 work together to influence:

• 🧬 Protein synthesis and tissue growth

• 🦴 Bone and connective-tissue development

• 💪 Skeletal muscle and lean-tissue metabolism

• 🔥 Lipid metabolism

• 🩸 Glucose and carbohydrate metabolism

• 🔄 Cellular growth and regeneration processes

⭐ Key Features & Biological Applications

• 🧬 Recombinant Human Growth Hormone

• 💪 Supports anabolic and tissue-growth signaling

• 🦴 Important for normal bone and connective-tissue development

• 🔬 Promotes IGF-1-mediated biological activity

• ⚙️ Involved in protein and lipid metabolism

• 🧪 Pharmaceutical-grade Somatropin formulation

• ❄️ Requires refrigerated storage at 2–8°C

• 🏭 Manufactured by ZPHC PHARMA

🧬 Molecular Formula

C₉₉₀H₁₅₂₈N₂₆₂O₃₀₀S₇

⚠️ Possible Side Effects

Somatropin may be associated with:

• Fluid retention

• Peripheral swelling

• Joint or muscle discomfort

• Headache

• Tingling or numbness

• Injection-site reactions

• Changes in glucose regulation

Long-term or inappropriate exposure to growth hormone can produce more significant metabolic and endocrine effects.

🧊 Storage

Store refrigerated at 2–8°C and protect from conditions outside the manufacturer's specified storage requirements. Avoid freezing and excessive heat.
