How does Nutropin Depot work?
Nutropin Depot consists of thousands of tiny balls (microspheres) made of a substance commonly found in medical products such as the "thread" used for dissolvable stitches. Each of these microspheres contains molecules of GH. Once Nutropin Depot suspension is injected under the skin (subcutaneously), its microspheres degrade, releasing the GH into the body in 2 phases—this is known as biphasic release. About 50% of the drug is released within the first day or two after the injection, and the remainder is released in the secondary (long-acting) phase as the microspheres degrade.
