Read this entire product information carefully before starting to use this medicine, as it contains important information for you.

• Keep this product information, as you may need to refer to it again.
• If you have any questions, consult your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse.

Ngenla contains the active ingredient somatropin, a modified pharmaceutical form of human growth hormone. Natural human growth hormone is necessary for bones and muscles to grow. It also helps to develop fat and muscle tissue in the appropriate amounts. Ngenla is used to treat children and adolescents from 3 years old who do not have enough growth hormone and are not growing at a normal rate.

The active ingredient of Ngenla is produced using "recombinant DNA technology". This means that it is created in cells that have been modified in the laboratory to produce it.

• If you or the child in your care have stopped growing due to the closure of growth plates (epiphyses closed), meaning your doctor has told you or the child in your care that their bones have stopped growing.
