Omnitrope (somatropin [rDNA origin]), is a recombinant human growth hormone product indicated for long-term treatment of pediatric patients who have growth failure due to an inadequate secretion of endogenous growth hormone, and for long-term replacement therapy in adults with GHD of either childhood- or adult onset.
The normal cost of HGH is about 2000 a month, the articels that I have read indicate Omnitrope will reduce the cost another 25-45%. Therefore, if IPLEX were to attempt to get into the less serve market you look at a cost to the patient of about 1400 amonth.
