Tesamorelin is a synthetic growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) analogue used to treat lipodystrophy in HIV-infected patients. This condition is characterized by an abnormal distribution of body fat, often occurring as a side effect of antiretroviral therapy. Tesamorelin helps to reduce excess abdominal fat.
Important Notes:
- Tesamorelin is not a weight-loss medication and is not used to treat general obesity.
- It is available only with a doctor's prescription.
How it works:
Tesamorelin works by stimulating the pituitary gland to release growth hormone. This, in turn, promotes the production of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), leading to effects on fat metabolism and other bodily functions.
Administration:
- Tesamorelin is typically injected subcutaneously (under the skin) once a day.
- It is available as a powder that must be mixed with a provided liquid before injection.
- It's important to follow your doctor's instructions exactly and use the medication at the same time each day.
Contraindications:
- You should not use tesamorelin if you are allergic to it or have certain conditions such as cancer, pituitary gland disorders (tumor, surgery, or head injury affecting the pituitary), or are pregnant.
Side Effects:
Common side effects include injection site reactions, such as redness, itching, pain, or swelling. Other possible side effects include:
- Swelling in the hands, feet, ankles, or lower legs
- Joint pain
- Muscle aches or spasms
- Difficulty sleeping or night sweats
- Nausea or vomiting
It is important to contact your doctor if you experience any severe side effects, such as signs of an allergic reaction or significant swelling.
Storage:
- The tesamorelin injection vials (powder) should be stored in the refrigerator.
- The provided liquid, needles, and syringes can be stored at room temperature.
