Increlex Mecasermin Igf-1 Injection 10MG

INCRELEX® (mecasermin) is a prescription medicine used to treat children who are very short for their age because their bodies do not make enough insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1). This condition is called severe primary IGF-1 deficiency. INCRELEX should not be used instead of growth hormone. It is not known if INCRELEX is safe and effective in children under 2 years of age.

Dosage: For adults the recommended dose is 1,500mg/m2 administered intravenously over two hours on days 1, 3 and 5 and repeated every 21 days. The recommended dose for children is 650mg/m2 administered intravenously over one hour daily for five consecutive days, repeated every 21 days. In clinical studies doses of 650mg/m2 and 1,500mg/m2 have both been used for patients aged 16 to 21 years, with similar efficacy and safety for both regimens.Increlex IGF 1 LR3 10mg Per ml, 4ml vialThis kit equates to 40,000mcg of IGF
