Tesamorelin is approved by the FDA to reduce the amount of fat for specific areas in adults with HIV and lipodystrophy. It is not meant to be used for weight loss. There was speculation that the drug could be helpful for improving the cardiovascular health of HIV patients, but there have been no strong conclusions, and it is only approved for treatment of lipodystrophy. Even though the drug is not intended for any other purposes, body builders do use it to improve their appearance.
Tesamorelin is not intended to be used by anyone who doesn’t have lipodystrophy. It will not reduce the fat in your body caused by an unhealthy lifestyle of overeating and not exercising. Still, some people insist on using the drug. The drug has side effects such as muscle pain, numbness, itching, joint pain, night sweats, and fluid retention. These side effects are mild compared to some of the other drugs body builders take to reduce fat.
The drug is considered by most expensive and only prescribed to HIV patients. You can buy the drug online, but it is not cheap. There is no generic version of the drug, so don’t be fooled if you think you find one. You will see it by the name of Egrifta, but that is the brand name, not a generic. EMD Serono Inc. holds a patent on the drug until 2015, so there will be no generics until after the patent expires. Even though the drug is expensive, body builders are purchasing it and are seeing results. They feel that the perfect set of abs is worth the price when traditional methods have failed.
The drug is injected into the problem area once a day. The dosage is almost always 2 mg. The best way to inject it to prevent bruising and redness is to switch up the injection area so that you do not inject the same spot more than once. You should inject the dose as close to the same time each day and if you miss a dose, only make it up if you remember well before the next dose. Contact Pro Peptides to know more.
