Hello.

I am sorry to put it very straight forward that once your daughter has reached puberty, Norditropin is unlikely to help in gaining much height. You can get her hand X-ray done and show to an experienced Endocrinologist who will read whether her bones have fused or not. He/she will guide you perfectly upon the real need of Norditropin for your daughter. In my opinion whatever a little height a post-pubertal girl achieves naturally, she will not go beyond that with the help this hormonal supplement. Sorry to upset your hopes but it will be wise not to waste so much money on expensive hormone but you can invest that money for her future. Take care.
