When taking growth hormone (GH) the individual must be aware of the possible side effects caused by it, such as the development of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, for example.
Usually the doctor advises taking the growth hormone injectable form, daily. It is particularly indicated for children with short stature, identified by the pediatrician between 3 and 4 years of age and for adolescents and adults diagnosed with diseases that impair growth.
Growth hormone should only be used under medical advice, as this medication has contraindications and side effects that can cause damage to the body.
The use of growth hormone by adults in order to lose weight, rejuvenate or gain muscle mass is contraindicated by doctors.
