Tesamorelin Contraindications

Meaning

Tesamorelin contraindications are the specific clinical conditions or circumstances that absolutely preclude the use of the synthetic growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) analog, Tesamorelin, due to an unacceptably high risk of adverse outcomes or therapeutic harm. These absolute restrictions are established through rigorous clinical trials and regulatory review to protect patient safety. Key contraindications include pre-existing malignancy, as the drug may stimulate tumor growth, and active hypophyseal disease, which could interfere with the hypothalamic-pituitary axis function. Clinicians must meticulously screen patients for these conditions before initiating treatment with this peptide.
