What side effects should I watch for with sermorelin?
Short answer
Sermorelin may cause injection-site redness, pain, or swelling. Headache, flushing, dizziness, or nausea may also occur. Tell your physician about symptoms that persist or worsen. Call 911 for trouble breathing, fainting, or swelling of the face or throat, which may signal a serious allergic reaction.
Possible side effects of sermorelin include pain, redness, itching, or swelling where it is injected. Headache, flushing, dizziness, and nausea may also occur. Side effects can depend on the dose, formulation, and your health history. Long-term safety information for wellness use is limited.
Contact your physician if a symptom lasts, gets worse, or makes daily activities difficult. Report new swelling, joint discomfort, unusual thirst, or frequent urination. These symptoms need review rather than an automatic dose change. Increasing redness, warmth, drainage, or fever after an injection may be a sign of infection and needs prompt medical attention.
Call 911 for trouble breathing, swelling of the face or throat, fainting, or other signs of a severe allergic reaction. Do not take another dose after a suspected serious reaction until a clinician has advised you. Keep the medication label available so emergency staff can see the ingredients and concentration. Also tell your physician about any new medication or supplement started around the same time.
