There are things you can do to minimize the side effects of Egrifta (tesamorelin), a drug used to treat people infected with HIV who have developed a condition called lipodystrophy. (That condition causes fat to accumulate in their abdomens.) Some people have discomfort or a rash or bruising at the injection site. You can minimize this by keeping track of where you inject the drug (always in the abdomen) and using a different spot each day.
Other possible side effects include joint pain, muscle soreness, nausea, vomiting, itching or tingling, elevated blood sugar, swelling due to fluid retention, and night sweats. If you have any of these symptoms, ask your doctor what you can do to ease them.
