Tesamorelin
Also known as: Egrifta
Tesamorelin (Egrifta / Egrifta SV) is a stabilized analog of human GHRH(1-44) with a trans-3-hexenoic acid moiety at the N-terminus that protects against protease degradation. FDA-approved in November 2010 for the reduction of excess abdominal fat in HIV-infected patients with lipodystrophy, it is the only FDA-approved GHRH analog for this indication. Off-label use for general body composition and visceral fat reduction in non-HIV populations is common but outside the approved label.
