Common and Mild
Redness or a small bump at the injection site, flushing for a few minutes after the dose, mild headache in the first week, and water retention or puffiness early on that settles. Vivid dreams are common and mostly welcome.
Less Common
Tingling in hands, joint aches, a temporary rise in blood sugar on labs. These usually mean the dose should be adjusted.
Call Your Provider If
Swelling that does not settle in two weeks, persistent joint pain, numbness, or any change in vision. We recheck IGF-1 and adjust.
Who Should Not Take It
Anyone with active cancer or a history of certain tumors, already-high IGF-1, or who is pregnant. The baseline labs exist to catch this.
Common Questions

Not shown in the data for people without an existing tumor; we screen for that.
Why nightly?+
Growth hormone pulses at night. Sermorelin works with that rhythm.
How long until side effects settle?+
Two to three weeks for most.
