Tesamorelin, explained

A drug studied for deep belly fat in people with HIV.

Selected randomized human trialsRead the sources

What it’s used for

Human studies

Deep belly fat

Trials in 806 adults with HIV-related fat changes found a 15.4% effect on deep abdominal fat at 26 weeks.

Human studies

Liver and blood fats

Studies examine liver fat and fats in the blood.

Human studies

Muscle and bone

Studies measure muscle and bone in people with HIV. This is not an approved bodybuilding use.

Community reports

Body composition and aging

People report off-label body-composition and aging-related uses, often 5–7 days a week.

What to expect

  1. Weeks 1–2

    IGF-1 levels rise

  2. Weeks 4–6

    Metabolic changes

  3. Weeks 8–12

    Changes in deep belly (visceral) fat

  4. Weeks 12–26

    Main trial outcomes, measured out to 26 weeks

Side effects & safety

Side effects

  • Fluid retention and swelling
  • Joint discomfort
  • Injection-site reactions
  • Allergic reactions
  • Raised IGF-1 levels
  • Glucose intolerance or diabetes

Stop and get help if

  • Severe allergic reaction
  • Suspicious new growths
  • Blood-sugar control getting worse
  • Acromegaly-like symptoms

Avoid or check first

  • Active cancer
  • Pregnancy
  • A disrupted hypothalamic-pituitary axis
  • Blood-sugar or IGF-1 concerns — the label says raised IGF-1 and glucose intolerance need monitoring

In sport

  • The reference reports: banned at all times.

  1. Formulations differ

    The official label explicitly distinguishes tesamorelin formulations. Their diluents, preparation and storage instructions cannot be transferred to the Monroe vial.

Injecting under the skinWhere, rotating sites, which syringe

Where

Subcutaneous injections go into the fatty layer beneath the skin. Common sites include the abdomen, outer thigh and upper arm. Keep at least 5 cm from the navel and avoid bruised, irritated or damaged skin.

Rotate sites

Change the spot each time. Clean the skin and let it dry.

Single-use equipment

Use a new sterile needle and syringe each time. Place used needles in a sharps container.

Storage

Storage

Room temperature. Do not refrigerate.

Combining it with others

Don’t combine

  • CJC-1295 (no DAC)

    They act on the same growth-hormone release signal and may add to side effects.

  • CJC-1295 with DAC

    They act on the same growth-hormone release signal and may add to side effects.

  • Sermorelin

    They act on the same growth-hormone release signal and may add to side effects.

  • CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin

    The combination already contains both growth-hormone drugs.

Use caution

  • MK-677

    Combined growth-hormone effects may add to swelling and high blood sugar.

  • HGH

    More growth-hormone activity may add to swelling and high blood sugar.

  • IGF-1 LR3

    Combined effects on the growth signal IGF-1 may add to low blood sugar and other side effects.

Often taken together

  • Ipamorelin

    They stimulate growth-hormone release in different ways.

  • GHRP-6

    They stimulate growth-hormone release in different ways.

  • Hexarelin

    They stimulate growth-hormone release in different ways.

What the research says

Human study

The question being studied

A 2007 trial followed 412 people with HIV-related belly fat for 26 weeks. An analysis of two trials covered 806 people, with another 26-week safety follow-up. Deep belly fat was measured by CT scan.

How long it stays in your body

Half-life is the time it takes for the amount in the body to fall by half. It does not tell you how long effects last.

Molecular notes

Tesamorelin acetate in the Egrifta SV reference label. Formula includes variable acetate; the mass is explicitly a free-base equivalent, not the salt’s total molar mass or a Monroe assay.

Questions

What does 10mg mean?

It describes an amount of material in the unit stated on the label. It does not describe liquid volume, a dose, or how to prepare the product.

Read more about amounts
Does purity mean it is sterile?

No. Purity and sterility require different tests. An endotoxin result also does not establish sterility.

About testing
Can I calculate concentration?

You need a mass in mg and either a final volume or a target concentration. IU and blends require separate, verified information.
