Growth hormone treatment without a needle using the Preci-Jet 50 transjector
Abstract
A new delivery system (Preci-Jet 50) which administers growth hormone through the skin using high pressure and without a needle was evaluated. This device was inconvenient and painful compared with a pen injection system. The conclusion is that the Preci-Jet is not the panacea for solving the problem of compliance with subcutaneous growth hormone injections.
- growth hormone treatment
- transcutaneous high pressure administration (jet)
