Gh dose: Gh dose is dependent on weight. Typical dosing at that age is 0.3 mg per kilogram per week.

Thank
Weight dependent: It seems like it may be on the high side, but dosing depends on patient weight, nature of disorder for which gh is prescribed, and the child's response to it. Please discuss any concerns about this with your child's endocrinologist.
