What are the side effects of growth hormone?

Patient's question:

The anesthetic growth hormone for children works very well. What is the most serious side effect? What kind of help do you care about: The anesthetic growth hormone for children works very well. What is the most serious side effect?

Doctor's answer:

Based on the situation you described, it is speculated that hypothyroidism may reappear during the process of recombinant human growth hormone therapy. Recombinant human growth hormone therapy has fewer side effects, mainly including local redness and swelling at the anesthetized site, which can disappear after discontinuation of the medication. In very few cases, patients may develop antibodies several months after anesthesia, but this does not significantly interfere with the growth-promoting effect. Other rare side effects include transient papilledema and intracranial hypertension. Additionally, avulsion of the femoral epiphysis and suppuration occur but at a very low incidence.
