The kind of help you care about: The child is still young, should it be injectable powder or liquid, what are the differences between growth hormone liquid and powder?Doctor's answer:
For younger children, it can be decided whether to use long-acting growth hormone to reduce the pain of anesthesia or short-acting liquid combined with an electronic pen to reduce the child's fear of anesthesia. Currently, there are 3 formulations of growth hormone, namely long-acting liquid, short-acting liquid, and short-acting powder. Their differences are: first, long-acting liquid only requires anesthesia once a week, while short-acting liquid and short-acting powder require daily anesthesia. Some children may miss doses due to distress from taking medication, which can interfere with the efficacy and further undermine their confidence in adhering to treatment.
