Long-acting and short-acting growth hormones are not good or bad, and need to be analyzed from the perspective of effect, injection time and price.
1. Effect: Long-acting growth hormone and short-acting growth hormone have similar active ingredients, and there is not much difference in effect, mainly due to differences in pharmacokinetics during drug release.
2. Long-acting growth hormone only needs to be injected once a week, and short-acting growth hormone needs to be injected every day, so long-acting growth hormone injections are less irritating to the skin, which can reduce the pain of the patient and make it more convenient to use.
3. Price: The price per unit dose of long acting growth hormone is higher than that of short acting growth hormone, so short acting growth hormone is more cost-effective.
Growth hormone can be selected according to the doctor’s advice and the patient’s own situation, both have their own advantages and disadvantages, the need to apply growth hormone patients need to use under the guidance of a doctor.
