Information about the drug

Serostim is a prescription medicine used to treat the symptoms of Growth Hormone Deficiency and HIV-associated Wasting or Cachexia. Serostim belongs to a class of drugs called Growth Hormone Analogs and may be used alone or with other medications.

Serostim is a human growth hormone (HGH) produced by recombinant DNA technology. Serostim has 191 amino acid residues and a molecular weight of 22,125 daltons. Its amino acid sequence and structure are identical to the dominant form of human pituitary growth hormone. Serostim is produced by a mammalian cell line (mouse C127) that has been modified by the addition of the hGH gene. Serostim is secreted directly through the cell membrane into the cell-culture medium for collection and purification.

Serostim is a sterile lyophilized powder intended for subcutaneous injection after reconstitution to its liquid form.

Each 5 and 6mg single-use vial is supplied in a combination package with Sterile Water for Injection, USP. The pH is adjusted with sodium hydroxide or phosphoric acid to give a pH of 6.5 to 8.5 after reconstitution.

Most of the effect of Serostim work output and lean body mass was apparent after 12 weeks of treatment. The effect was maintained during an additional 12 weeks of therapy. There are no safety or efficacy data available from controlled studies in which patients were treated with Serostim continuously for more than 48 weeks. There are no safety or efficacy data available from trials in which patients with HIV wasting or cachexia were treated intermittently with Serostim.
Vials of Serostim and diluent should be stored at room temperature, (15°-30°C/59°-86°F). Expiration dates are stated on product labels. Avoid freezing reconstituted vials of Serostim.
