Test Your Knowledge: Sogroya for Pediatric Growth Disorders

Summary: Sogroya is a medicine for kids with growth disorders, and the best part is that it only needs to be taken once a week! For new treatments, the recommended dose is 0.24 mg for every kilogram a child weighs. If a child is tired of taking daily growth hormone shots, switching is easy—they just take their last daily dose the day before starting their new weekly routine.

However, this medicine isn't for everyone. Doctors warn that Sogroya should not be used by kids who have moderate or severe liver problems, active cancer, closed growth plates, or Prader-Willi syndrome with severe obesity. The medicine comes in high-tech, prefilled pens (like the 5 mg/1.5 mL size) that make giving exact doses super simple.
