Tesamorelin
Also known as Egrifta, TH9507
Tesamorelin is a stabilised analogue of growth hormone releasing hormone. Unlike most compounds in this reference it has been approved by the FDA, for a narrow indication: reduction of excess abdominal fat in people with HIV-associated lipodystrophy. It has therefore been through full clinical trials for that use.
