Guys. Just wondering wether a 2month course of somatropin would cause a non-functioning pituitary tumor to grow more? Thanx.

I would realy not mess around with gh if you have a tumor(functioning or not)
please go to your Doc and ask him this question. he will tell you the right answer.
Be safe bro

absolutly

infact, the tumor would probibly recruit majority of the growth hormone for its own purpose

Why would he do that? First, he is not allowed to as you are his patient and there are confidentiality laws. However, more importantly, growth hormone is not illegal. It is used in anti aging medicine regularly.
