How many injectable iu's of hgh do short stature kids take?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Highly variable : There are quite a few causes of small stature for which hgh is approved. Without knowing the reason for taking hgh and the concentration of the vial containing hgh, there is no way to answer.
