Is there an alternative to growth hormone injections for children ?

Growth: Not for growth hormone deficiency. There are many potential causes of growth failure and short stature and these can be treated differently. Human growth hormone is fda approved for gh deficiency, is safe, effective, and has been used since 1985.
