Medical - Medical: Pharmaceuticals / Drug names
Portuguese term or phrase: sometatotaque recobuíno
This is what the text says (from Brazil, in a transcription of a conversation)

O engraçado é que a médica escreveu sometatotaque recobuíno [sic], mas deve ser somatropina.

Any ideas about what the doctor was trying to write? I need something closer than "somatropina".

Explanation:
Maybe this is what the Portuguese source text should say ?

"somatropina recombinante"

We know doctors are notorious for terrible handwriting.

agree  Michael Hall: There is recombinant somatotropin, which is the human form and is prescribed by medical doctors; and bovine, from cows and prescribed by vets. Should be recombinant if written by physician.
