User guide to Swisstropin® AQ:
- How to use
* The dose of administration should be individual for each patient. For growth-promotion purpose in children, the
recommended dose is 0.1-0.15 IU/kg/day, once per day, subcutaneous injection. The period of treatment is from 3 months to 3 years. Or follow your physicians prescription.

treatment is about 2 weeks.
* The dose might require adjustment individually for human GH replacement therapy. Pls follow your physicians
instructions.
- 191AA hGH vs 192AA hGH
Natural hGH has 191 amino acid residues. hGH made by genetic engineering has two types: those with 191 amino acids and those with 192 amino acids. Jintropin® AQ is the only 191AA hGH brand in China. Swisstropin® AQ is the only officially approved
hGH in China that are produced by its patented secretion technology to make it purely 191 amino acid hGH. Most of other
Chinese brands, although claim to be 191 amino acid hGH, in fact are still containing small amount of 192 amino acid hGH in there because of the technology they use. (See published paper, The many faces of growth hormone, Summer 2005, Body of Science)
- What’s the advantage of 191 amino acid hGH?
It is raising much less antibodies. The 191 amino acid hGH proteins are identical to the natural hGH, therefore pure 191 hGH causing very little antibody formation in the body. However the 192 amino acid hGH is different from the natural hGH, thus
causing stronger antibodies formations in a majority of people. These antibodies will make the hGH stop functioning.
- What's the advantage of Swisstropin® AQ's secretion technology？
* Pure 191AA hGH
Swisstropin® AQ is the only hGH brand in China that are purely 191 amino acid. Because of this patented secretion technology.
Most other Chinese hGH brands, although claims there are also 191 amino acid hGH, are either 192 amino acid hGH or still
contain small amount of 192 amino acid by testing.
* The least amount of antibody formation caused
Jintropin® for injection causes the least amount of antibody formation (about 3%, like Genotropin® and Humatrope®) after one month injection; Jintropin® AQ doesn’t raise any at all. While most other Chinese brands typically cause antibody formation
in about 25-50% of people. These antibodies will gradually stop your body’s hGH from functioning. Therefore always be
careful not to use a cheap, low quality brand of hGH. |
