Sermorelin side effects and what's normal

Most patients tolerate sermorelin very well. When side effects happen, they are typically mild and often fade as your body adjusts.

Common and usually temporary

  • Minor injection-site reactions such as redness or tenderness

  • A brief headache or occasional flushing

  • Temporary fatigue or mild dizziness early on, which often fades with time

Less common

Rare risks include elevated blood sugar and allergic reactions. Your care team monitors you throughout treatment.
