If you miss a dose of growth hormone, take it as soon as you remember. Don’t try to make up for
a missed injection by giving a double dose or two doses in the same day. Occasional missed
doses are not dangerous. However, it’s very important to continue taking this medication every
day. A child may not grow as tall if doses are continually missed. And if an adult stops
treatment, symptoms of growth hormone deficiency will return in a few months. Make sure to
keep track of missed injections so your doctor can monitor the therapy's effectiveness.
