You should receive appropriate training and instructions from the physician before using it. The dose and how often you take it depends on what you are taking it for.

If these bother you or appear serious, let your doctor know. There may be ways of reducing or preventing them. Before taking this medicine, tell your doctor if you have ever had diabetes, or have a thyroid disorder.

You may be asked for regular monitoring of blood sugar levels, kidney function and level of growth hormone before and during the treatment.
