Usage and Administration of Zomacton

First and foremost, it is essential to use Zomacton under the supervision of a doctor who has experience in treating Adult Growth Hormone Deficiency (AGHD). Patients take Zomacton as subcutaneous injections.

Patients can take these injections at home after learning the preparation and administration process from their doctors or trained nurses.

Preparation of Zomacton

Zomacton comes in the form of white powder in a vial along with a diluent liquid. It typically is available in two potencies of 5mg and 10mg respectively. The white powder(GH) should be mixed with the diluent fluid, provided with it, to reconstitute the solution for the injection.

Doctors teach the patients the process of preparing the injections and administering them. The instruction manual that comes with Zomacton also has all the instructions for making the medicine.

The prepared medicine can last for 14 days (5g) to 28 days (10mg). It is important to refrigerate both the mixed as well as unopened vials of Zomacton. The reconstituted solution should always be clear. Discard the prepared medicine, if it is not a clear liquid. Do not freeze or heat the prepared Zomacton solution.

Zomacton Administration

Zomacton is injected under the skin using a needle or needle-free device called ZOMA-Jet. The injections are given in different areas of the body every day. Upper arms, upper thighs, upper buttocks, and stomach are some of the places best suited for these injections.

The reconstituted solution for injection should be brought back to room temperature before injecting into the body. The medicine should also be checked for cloudiness each time before use.

Discard the needles after each use. The injections are taken at the same time each day. Evening time is best suited for this injection as the medicine can work best at night. It also mimics the natural secretion of Growth Hormone (GH) in the body, which usually happens at night time.
