How SKYTROFA works:

Long-acting, extended release

The innovative technology of SKYTROFA makes once-weekly dosing possible for you and your child

SKYTROFA delivers somatropin, which is used in daily growth hormone therapies. After your child’s SKYTROFA injection, somatropin slowly begins to release over time. This means that your child will get the medicine they need to grow from their injection over the course of a week
