Proven safety and efficacy2,9

The safety and efficacy of Norditropin® have been evaluated in clinical studies, as well as an observational study in a real-world setting (originally a post-marketing registry).2,9,b

bThe ANSWER Program was originally a post-marketing registry of adults and pediatric patients treated with Norditropin® as prescribed by their physician and according to routine clinical practice. Since it did not investigate treatment specifics, it was developed into a non-interventional, observational study that allowed evaluation of the safety and effectiveness of Norditropin® in a real-world setting in the United States.9
