Serostim® (somatropin) is a prescription recombinant human growth hormone used to treat HIV-associated wasting or cachexia in adults. It helps improve lean body mass, body weight, and physical endurance in patients experiencing significant weight and muscle loss related to HIV infection. Serostim works by replacing or supplementing natural growth hormone, which plays a key role in regulating growth, metabolism, and tissue repair. It is administered as a once-daily subcutaneous injection under medical supervision.
