Pfizer Genotropin Question

[Deepsea]

What mg/day have you guys run genotropin at? Everything I have read suggests .04 to .08 mg/kg/wk. At 100kg that's only 4mg - 8mg per week. I have a script from a guy who was prescribed 3.68mg per day for 7 days a week. This contradicts everything I've read. Can anyone help me out with this? Thanks in advance. P.S. The genotropin is by Pfizer and in a two chamber syringe unconstituted, one side liquid and one side powder. It reads 13.8mg/ml and 36iu/ml.

I've decided to just run 6iu's AM and 6iu's PM, this will come to 1.66mg/day and around 11.6mg per week. In looking up why my friends dosage was so high I found a study mentioning that individuals with Dwarfism get a much higher dosage which is why he was taking around 28iu's per day. The reccommended dosage for adults in the medical world is .08 mg/kg/week. So the dosage prescribed for me would be around 8mg a week at 100kgs. I figure 11.6mg is close enough with a little extra for kick..

I used Genotropin for 5 months at 3 to 4 IU a day and it was an excellent fat loss drug. My waist size went from 34 to 32 at 5' 11" , 212 lbs. All the fat around my waist disappeared. There was just 1 problem, 6 mo. later I was back to 34". I didn't notice any additional muscle gain than I got from a previous cycle without using HGH. In my opinion, HGH is a waste of money. Especially the major brands which are so expensive. I think you are taking way too much to start with. I still have the insert and it recommends .2mg. a day without consideration of body weight. The cartridge is a highly concentrated 13.8 mg. per ml., so the 10 mark on the syringe would be approximately 4 IU. I used to empty the cartridge into a larger vial and add another 1 ml. of BA water, so I could fill to the 20 mark. That would be 4 IU. The life extension people recommend 2 IU's a day, the BB forums recommend 4 IU's a day for fat loss and 8 to 10IU's a day to build muscle.

I think you got your #s mixed up (I hope). You don't need 12iu of Genotropin per day!

I did have my numbers mixed up, my apologies. I was going 6 clicks as 6 iu's. I will go with the advice given and run it at 10 clicks (4iu's) in the AM and 4iu's in the PM. Running it 6 days on and taking Sunday off. Thanks for the help.

No worries bro. If I were you I would start at 4iu a day and work my way up to 8 iu/day over time. This is a high dose to start at..especially for Genptropin! Just my .02 good luck bro!

I would also start around 2-3IU daily and increase 1-2IU per week to keep sides in check. You won't notice much for months anyway so I think you'll waste a lot starting high.

And that didn't strike you as odd? First it worked like a charm, assisted you w/weight loss, though it seems you were taking something else (you had been on a "previous cycle"). Then later,...only to regain all your unwanted fat back approx 6 months later?

So where lies the problem? Your GH went bad?? GH is an Indian Giver and has a rebound effect? Or.....????
