SKYTROFA is a prescription medicine used to treat children with growth hormone deficiency (GHD).
SKYTROFA is intended to help children with GHD who are aged 1 year and older and weigh at least 11.5 kg (25.35 lb).
See the innovative features of the Auto-Injector come to life in the step-by-step instruction video.
Once your doctor prescribes your child SKYTROFA, they will also enroll you in the Ascendis Signature Access Program™ (A·S·A·P). Through A·S·A·P, you will receive personalized patient support with a dedicated Nurse Advocate, who will coordinate device training and provide injection assistance.
For any questions, please call 1-844-442-7236.
Your Auto-Injector battery light will always let you know when it is time to charge the device. If you forget, it takes only 15 minutes to charge for 1 injection.
After injecting, allow your Auto-Injector to fully charge before using it again. A full charge will last at least 4 weeks when used for 1 injection each week.
No, SKYTROFA cartridges do not need to be refrigerated for up to 6 months.* With SKYTROFA, you can conveniently store your child’s medicine at home or when traveling.
If you miss your dose, SKYTROFA can be taken up to 2 days after your regular injection day.
To avoid missed doses, SKYTROFA can also be taken 2 days before or 2 days after your regularly scheduled injection day. You should always go back to your regular injection day after taking a missed dose.
See the Prescribing Information. To help stick to your schedule, sign up for text reminders.
SKYTROFA is available in 9 dosage strengths. Your doctor can adjust your child’s treatment as they grow and switch to the appropriate cartridge.
