Overview=

Tesamorelin is a stabilized analogue of growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) that stimulates the pituitary to release growth hormone (GH) and thereby increases circulating insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1). In the U.S., the marketed product EGRIFTA® (tesamorelin for injection) is FDA-approved for reducing excess abdominal fat (visceral adipose tissue) in adult patients with HIV-associated lipodystrophy — not for general cosmetic use or for indications beyond those in the approved label. All promotional or product pages should adhere to label language and avoid implying broader or unapproved therapeutic benefits.
