Tesamorelin
PH-TESA-001
Specifications
Description
Tesamorelin is a man-made version of a hormone that helps our bodies grow. It's used to study and treat a condition where people with HIV have extra fat around their organs.
How Does it Work?
Tesamorelin works by attaching to special cells in the brain that control growth hormone. This helps our bodies release growth hormone in a natural way. Studies have shown that Tesamorelin can help reduce extra fat around the organs and keep the effects going even after a long time of treatment (Dhillon, 2011; Spooner et al., 2012).
