Default Will past Growth Hormone Treatment cause any

Hi. When I was 13 y/o (8 years ago) I was shorter than my classmates so we went to an endocrinologist and he recommended my parents a growth hormone replacement treatment. Did that for a year and it worked as I have a normal height now. I had/have no side effects.

Will that be an issue when applying for a first class medical? I couldn’t find anything related on the internet.

Ty!

I really don't think that will be a problem.

You can apply for 1C medical, and see what happens.

Or pay AMAS, or another consulting service, and get some insight and guidance before you apply to the FAA.
