About EGRIFTA SV® (tesamorelin for injection)
EGRIFTA SV® (tesamorelin for injection) is approved in the United States and indicated for the reduction of excess abdominal fat in HIV-infected adult patients with lipodystrophy.
Limitations of use:
Lipodystrophy affects the redistribution of fat that includes the accumulation and loss of fat in certain parts of the human body. The excess fat accumulating in the abdomen due to lipodystrophy is called visceral fat. Often, visceral fat is mistaken for subcutaneous fat. Unlike subcutaneous fat, visceral fat lies deeper in the abdomen area. It is harder and firmer than subcutaneous fat which is soft and squishy. Visceral fat can be difficult to control with diet and exercise alone.
