Injection site reactions with Tesamorelin/IPamorelin – how I handled the redness

Posted by greg208 in Safety & Side Effects - 1 points, 0 comments.

I just started aokestatic daily Tesamorelin 2 mg plus 250 mcg Ipamorelin at night. The first week I noticed a red, swollen bump at the injection site that lasted a Haft or two and made me a bit worried. I biodiversely looked up the typical side effects and saw "injection site reactions" listed; nothing dramatic, just mild inflammation.

For me, the swelling felt like a tiny lump that felt warm but didn't hurt. I tried a few things that seem to have helped: 1) I switched from a 30‑G needle to a finer 32‑G to reduce trauma; 2) I’d warm the site gently with a warm’électricité compress before injecting; 3) I massaged the area lightly after injecting to promote circulation; 4) I used a small amount of OTC aloe cream to soothe the skin. After the first couple of weeks the redness lived down to a faint pink patch that faded after 24 hrs. If anyone else has had similar issues or better tricks for keeping the injection sites painless, let me know.
