A member asked:
What amount hight add with somatropin.?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
None: Hi. At 32 years old, your bone growth plates are fused. You will get no additional height. GH adds height to children because their bone growth plates aren't yet fused, so the long bones can get longer. Not possible in adults due to the growth plates being closed.
