Interaction with Medicine
Disease interactions
Somatropin may interfere with your anti-diabetic medicines and may affect your blood sugar control. Your blood sugar levels will be closely monitored and dose adjustments may be required based on your clinical condition.
Somatropin has been associated with the development of hypothyroidism (low thyroid hormone levels). Your thyroid function will be closely monitored.
Somatropin may increase your risk of otitis media (ear infection) when treated for Turner syndrome (a genetic condition in females, resulting in growth defects). Careful evaluation for otitis media and other ear problems should be done before beginning the treatment with Somatropin to reduce your risk of ear infections and hearing problems.
Scoliosis is a condition with a sideways curve in your spine (backbone). Since Somatropin increases growth rate, children with a history of scoliosis should be carefully monitored for progression of this condition.
Intracranial hypertension
Somatropin may increase your risk of intracranial hypertension, a condition with high pressure in your brain. Inform your doctor if you experience any symptoms of visual disturbances, nausea, vomiting, headache, dizziness, ringing in your ears, etc.
