Hypothyroidism somatropin

Ovarian enlargement, hemoperitoneum, febrile reactions, multiple pregnancies, hypersensitivity Failure to respond to therapy due to development of antibodies, hypothyroidism, insulin resistance, swelling of the joints, joint and/or muscle pain Same as somatropin... 

These hormones cause few adverse reactions when administered as directed. Antibodies to somatropin may develop in a small number of patients, resulting in a failure to experience response to therapy, namely, failure of the drug to produce growth in the child. Some patients may experience hypothyroidism or insulin resistance Swelling, joint pain, and muscle pain may also occur. 

Thyroid function tests are often altered by somatropin because of increased conversion of T4 to T3, but this is clinically insignificant at low doses (SEDA-21, 453). One child with Prader-Willi syndrome had a fall in serum thyroxine concentration during somatropin therapy and needed thyroxine replacement (33). Hypothyroidism developed in 11 of 46 growth hormone-deficient children treated with somatropin (34). Prior abnormalities in hypothalamic-pituitary function and alterations in thyroid hormone metabolism, probably both, contributed to the high incidence of hypothyroidism, which was similar to that in previous studies.
