Somatropin is a human growth hormone (GH) produced by recombinant DNA technology using Escherichia coli. The protein is comprised of 191 amino acid residues and a molecular weight of approximately 22,125 daltons. The amino acid sequence is identical to that of human GH of pituitary origin. OMNITROPE (somatropin) injection is a clear, colorless, sterile solution for subcutaneous injection supplied in a cartridge for use with OMNITROPE Pen delivery system. Sodium hydroxide and/or phosphoric acid may be added during manufacture to adjust pH. OMNITROPE (somatropin) for injection is a white to off-white lyophilized powder supplied in a vial for subcutaneous injection after reconstitution. Sodium hydroxide and/or hydrochloric acid may be added during manufacture to adjust pH. Vials are co-packaged with accompanying 1.14 mL vials of a diluent containing Bacteriostatic Water for Injection with 1.5% benzyl alcohol as a preservative. After reconstitution, the concentration is 5 mg/mL. Each OMNITROPE cartridge or vial contains the following (see Table 4 ): Table 4.
