Norditropin® FlexPro® has a unique new dosing mechanism, a user-friendly design which makes it easy to learn and use, and an audible click that confirms that the dose has been delivered. Norditropin® FlexPro® requires no reconstitution and no loading of cartridges. Norditropin® FlexPro® is available in 5 mg/1.5 ml, 10 mg/1.5 ml and 15 mg/1.5 ml pens.

In a handling study[1], 100% of patients found it easy to learn how to use Norditropin® FlexPro®. Ninety-nine percent of patients found it easy to push the button to dose, and 97% felt confident the correct dose was delivered.

"During our 20 years providing Norditropin® growth hormone, we have listened to patients and we understand the importance of providing simple, hassle-free patient care," says Pablo de Mora, global vice president of Growth Hormone Treatment in Novo Nordisk. "With the advantages of our new Norditropin® FlexPro® we are convinced that daily injections will be made even simpler, so patients are better able to achieve their individual treatment goals."

Novo Nordisk introduced Norditropin® in 1988; the first liquid growth hormone formulation, Norditropin® SimpleXx®, in 1999; and the first prefilled growth hormone pen, Norditropin NordiFlex®, in 2004. The introduction of Norditropin® FlexPro® represents the latest advance in growth hormone pens building on this heritage.
