Growth Hormone Deficiency
What is on the horizon?
Some biosynthetic growth hormone products are currently being investigated, including examorelin (Hexarelin). Like growth hormone-releasing hormone products, these drugs are growth hormone-releasing peptides that stimulate the release of growth hormone, but they work at different sites in the body. These products may provide added benefit when used in combination with growth hormone-releasing hormone products. Also encouraging is that they have been shown to be effective when given orally or nasally, or when injected.
Research is ongoing to better understand the causes of GHD and discover ways to prevent the disorder. Current technological advances offer strong hope that medicines to prevent and even cure growth hormone deficiency will be developed.
