Ipamorelin

Mild redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site. Typically resolves within 24 hours. Minimise by rotating sites, allowing peptide to warm to room temperature, and using proper injection technique. Apply ice if swelling persists.

Transient headache may occur within 1-2 hours of injection, likely related to rapid GH elevation. Usually self-resolving. Ensure adequate hydration and consider timing injection earlier in the evening if nocturnal headache occurs.

Transient flushing or sensation of warmth may occur 15-30 minutes post-injection due to GH-mediated vasodilation. Self-resolving within 30-60 minutes.

Ghrelin receptor activation may transiently increase appetite, particularly if injected in the morning or early evening. This typically diminishes with continued use as the body adapts.

GH is counter-regulatory to insulin; individuals with insulin resistance, prediabetes, or diabetes may experience elevated fasting glucose or HbA1c. Monitor blood glucose regularly, especially if diabetic. Discontinue if significant hyperglycaemia develops and consult a healthcare provider.

Prolonged GH elevation can cause fluid retention and nerve compression, leading to CTS symptoms (numbness, tingling in hands). More likely with high doses or prolonged use. If symptoms develop, reduce dose, increase rest periods, or discontinue. Consult a healthcare provider if symptoms persist.

Transient myalgia or arthralgias may occur as GH stimulates protein synthesis and tissue remodelling. Usually mild and self-resolving. Ensure adequate protein intake and hydration.

Repeated injections in the same site can cause localised lipoatrophy (fat loss) or lipohypertrophy (fat thickening). Prevent by strictly rotating injection sites with each dose. If lipodystrophy develops, discontinue injections in that area for 4-6 weeks.

Mild nausea may occur within 1-2 hours of injection, particularly if injected on a full stomach. Typically self-resolving. Inject on an empty stomach or fasted state to minimise.

Transient dizziness may occur due to rapid GH elevation and metabolic changes. Ensure adequate hydration and avoid standing abruptly after injection. Sit or lie down if symptoms occur.

Anaphylaxis or severe allergic reaction is extremely rare but possible. Symptoms include difficulty breathing, throat swelling, severe rash, or hypotension. Seek emergency medical care immediately if suspected. Discontinue use and inform healthcare provider of the reaction.
