FDA Approved HGH Products
The following table lists all FDA approved growth hormone products. If you and your physician pursue growth hormone replacement therapy for growth hormone deficiency, ensure that you use an FDA approved product.
Note that growth hormone delivered via subcutaneous injection is the only form of growth hormone that has been proven to be effective and has been approved by the FDA for use as replacement therapy. Oral and inhaled products are neither effective nor have they been approved by the FDA for use in humans. (Oral and Inhalable Forms of HGH: Not Effective)
