What it is used for

Not specified in the provided information.

How it is used

Sogroya is injected once a week using a pre-filled pen. It is injected under the skin in the belly, thighs, buttocks or upper arms and the injection site should be changed from one week to another. Patients or their caregivers can inject the dose themselves after appropriate training. The medicine can only be obtained with a prescription and treatment should be started and monitored by doctors who are qualified and experienced in the diagnosis and management of patients with growth hormone deficiency.

How it works

The active substance in Sogroya, somapacitan, acts in the same way as human growth hormone. Once injected into the patient, it attaches to a protein in the blood called albumin, which makes it remain in the body for longer. This allows the medicine to be given once a week, compared with other growth hormone replacement therapies which are given daily.
