No human dose follows from animal exposure or from an Increlex/mecasermin label. Changes in glucose are a material concern, not a reason to infer a starting amount.

Source context

The cited rat work investigates the clearance and distribution of LR3IGF-I. Its altered binding behaviour is precisely why results for ordinary IGF-I do not make the analogue interchangeable.

Reading the dose correctly

No human dose follows from animal exposure or from an Increlex/mecasermin label. Changes in glucose are a material concern, not a reason to infer a starting amount.

Why is there no numerical dose for IGF-1 LR3 on this card?

No human dose follows from animal exposure or from an Increlex/mecasermin label. Changes in glucose are a material concern, not a reason to infer a starting amount.

Does a missing dose mean that no research exists?

This card describes animal pharmacology. Evidence of a mechanism, a laboratory finding or an exposure does not by itself establish a useful and safe human treatment schedule. The monograph explains the distinction.
