Description and reported dosing

What is Tesamorelin?

An analogue of growth-hormone-releasing hormone. It is a registered medicine: the FDA approved it under the name Egrifta, and it is the only approved drug for HIV-associated lipodystrophy.

The approval is for that condition specifically — excess visceral abdominal fat in people with HIV on antiretroviral therapy. Use outside that indication is off-label.
