Tesamorelin is a synthetic peptide analogue of human growth hormone-releasing factor (GRF/ GHRH) used for the reduction of excess abdominal fat in HIV-infected patients with lipodystrophy. It stimulates the pituitary gland to increase the secretion of endogenous growth hormone (GH). Tesamorelin is approved by the FDA for this indication.
Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetics in healthy adult volunteers (both sexes, aged 18–55 years) after subcutaneous administration.
