About Tesamorelin.
Also known as: Tesamorelin acetate, TH9507
Tesamorelin is a synthetic analog of growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH). A brand-name tesamorelin product is FDA-approved for a specific indication; that approval does not extend to compounded tesamorelin or to other uses.
Live Vital prescribes compounded tesamorelin, which a licensed pharmacy prepares for an individual patient, including for off-label use where your clinician considers it appropriate. It is not FDA-approved and has not been evaluated by the FDA for safety, effectiveness or quality. It is available only after a medical intake and review by a licensed clinician, and only if the clinician determines it is appropriate for you.
How it works
Tesamorelin binds GHRH receptors in the pituitary gland and prompts the release of the body's own growth hormone, which raises IGF-1. Prescribed tesamorelin is administered by subcutaneous injection on a schedule your clinician sets after your intake.
Who may be evaluated.
- Adults interested in a clinician-supervised body composition protocol
- Eligibility is determined by a licensed clinician after a medical intake
How treatment is managed.
Your clinician sets the dose and schedule after your intake and reviews it at regular check-ins. Outcomes vary by individual and are not guaranteed.
Dosing is not one-size-fits-all. Your clinician sets your dose and schedule after your medical intake, and adjusts it as treatment progresses.
