Growth Hormone Releasing Factors

Growth hormone releasing factors are used for weight loss. They work to reduce fat around the stomach in patients with HIV.

Why are growth hormone releasing factors prescribed?

  1. Excess Fat (100%)
  2. Growth Hormone Deficiency (0%)
  3. Lipodystrophy (0%)

Key takeaways

Growth hormone-releasing factor medications help reduce excess fat in the stomach area in people with HIV-related lipodystrophy. These medications work by stimulating the release of growth hormone, which helps to regulate body composition. Growth-hormone-releasing factors are typically available as injectables. Examples include tesamorelin (Egrifta SV).
