ZOMACTON (somatropin) is a recombinant human growth hormone (GH) approved in 1995 for multiple pediatric and adult indications including GH deficiency, Turner syndrome, Prader-Willi syndrome, and chronic kidney disease. It works by binding to GH receptors on cells, triggering intracellular signaling that induces production of IGF-1 and other growth-promoting proteins, ultimately stimulating skeletal growth, protein synthesis, and metabolic effects. The drug is administered via injection and represents the standard-of-care therapeutic modality for growth hormone replacement.
