If you are hesitant to consult doctor, who gave you the diagnosis of growth hormone deficiency? GH deficiency is not an easy diagnosis. It is to be made after excluding many other illnesses and also after doing proper tests like left wrist xray, MRI brain, etc. please don't neglect this. If picked up at the right time, the child can acquire good height. Also the injections are pretty costly and has side effects too, hence should be monitored by doctor while you are on them. All this cannot be done online. No doctor will take the risk

Growth hormone deficiency cannot be treated without proper evaluation. Growth hormone injections are not over-the-counter and must be started only by a pediatric endocrinologist after tests (IGF-1, stimulation test, some time MRI etc.). Dose is weight-based and needs regular monitoring, so online prescription is not safe or ethical.
