This medicine seems to be working great! My 6 year old daughter has been on it for just about a year for diagnosed growth hormone deficiency, she has grown quite a bit! The ids in her class use to treat her like she was a baby but now thank god, she is almost as tall as some of the kids in her class now!! Giving the injections are never fun, but as a parent you know it only lasts a minute and the pain goes away!!! I try to give it to her at night while she is sleeping!! You can also try a numbing cream and a teg-a-derm (see through bandaid), to numb the area first! I recommend this medicine.....it has seem to work great so far, with no side effects!! hope this was helpfullRead More Read Less
