Peptide Therapy Risks

Meaning

Peptide therapy risks encompass the spectrum of potential adverse events and safety concerns associated with the clinical administration of therapeutic peptides, which include synthetic hormones and growth factor secretagogues. These risks range from common, localized injection site reactions and transient side effects to more serious, albeit rare, systemic complications like immune reactions, glucose dysregulation, or potential oncogenic effects. Comprehensive patient screening, precise dosing, and vigilant monitoring are essential clinical strategies for risk mitigation.
