Our highly trained physicians prescribe only approved brand name hormone medications.

Another reason many North American patients visit our clinic is that our prices are less than a similar hormone therapy program located stateside and the privacy and confidentiality we offer. Prices on our mediations are about 1/2 of what they are stateside and you'll be happy with our pricing schedules, as it includes the lab work, inital and follow up consultations, review of your blood exam and urinalysis.
We have no hidden fees, lab charges, hospital costs or other added expneses on the invoices. We also offer a free initial telemedicine consultation prior to you making the trip. As expressed in our history and experice profiles throughout this site, our facility has both the vast experience, education and history in Adult Growth Hormone Deficiency.
Treatment Approach
Where possible, the underlying cause must be addressed. Some causes, such as prior surgery or radiation therapy, are not correctible and treatment thus focuses on replacing the target hormones.
Endocrine replacement therapy should aim to mimic the normal hormonal milieu as far as possible, thus improving symptoms while avoiding overtreatment. With the exception of GH and ADH replacement, target hormones (those hormones stimulated by the pituitary-produced hormone) rather than the deficient pituitary hormone are replaced: for example, replacing with corticosteroids instead of ACTH. Patient education about hypopituitarism and the need to modify treatment during intercurrent illness is vital.
GH deficiency
GH treatment should be encouraged in patients with severe clinical manifestations of GH deficiency such as fatigue, poor quality of life, increased truncal obesity, unfavorable lipid profile, low muscle mass or strength, and low BMD.
