The hormone is synthesised by a special strain of E. coli bacteria that has been modified by the addistion of a plasmid that carries the gene for human growth hormone (hGH).Neotropin is administered by injection just below the skin. It is given using a very short, thin needle. This makes the injection more comfortable. Only very small amounts of Neotropin are injected and the injection is over very quickly.
