Who are we ?

Merck Serono , a division of Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany, is a global business focusing on innovative pharmaceuticals and one of the key companies active in the area of growth hormone (GH) related disorders. Through the combination of knowledge and expertise accumulated over the last 20 years, Merck Serono is dedicated to creating innovative products and devices to simplify the treatment of growth hormone-related disorders.

What is Growth Hormone Treatment ?

In conditions where growth hormoneis not produced or released in sufficient quantities, normal levels can be achieved by daily administration of a recombinant human growth hormone products.

Who uses recombinant Growth Hormone ?

As recombinant growth hormone is identical to natural growth hormone, such treatment can help children who are deficient in growth hormone to reach normal adult height and also help alleviate some of the symptoms of Adult Growth Hormone Deficiency (AGHD). Find out more about growth hormone-related disorders by visiting the Types of Growth Hormone Disorders section of our website.

Growth hormone cannot be taken orally as a tablet or medicine as it is broken down in the stomach. The route of administration is by injection just below the skin.

How is recombinant Growth Hormone delivered through the skin?

As growth hormone must be injected every day, we at Merck Serono understand it is important that products are easy and convenient to use. Our device family allows you to choose from a range of innovative devices that deliver growth hormone under the skin.

Easy to use

The Merck Serono growth hormone that you get from your doctor is a powder that has to be dissolved before it can be used. In order to simplify this process, Merck Serono has developed click.easy^® a reconstitution system that helps you to prepare your injection easily and accurately. Merck Serono’s products are practical to store as they do not need to be refrigerated prior to reconstitution. These options for the delivery of growth hormone allow those living with growth hormone-related disorders to find a treatment that fits best with their daily routine. 

• easypod™ is the first electronic device for the delivery of growth hormone and has been designed by Merck Serono to make daily injections even easier.            

Minimising anxiety

Nobody likes needles – that’s why Merck Serono have developed a device that can deliver growth hormone through the skin without using a needle.

• cool.click™, the only needle-free growth hormone delivery device, is the ideal treatment option for those suffering from growth hormone-related disorders who are anxious about using conventional syringes and needles.              

Minimising discomfort

Recognising that a daily injection routine can be as tedious as it may be uncomfortable and distressing, we are continuously developing means to make the treatment of growth hormone disorders less disruptive. 

• With one.click™ and cool.click™ Merck Serono was the first to offer autoinjection devices for treatment of growth hormone-related disorders. Autoinjection delivers growth hormone in one step, reducing the discomfort of daily injections⁴⁴.           

From our autoinjector for growth hormone treatment, one.click™, to the needle-free cool.click™ and the new, unique easypod™, Merck Serono endeavours to make the routine of daily injections as convenient and comfortable as possible.
