Is tesamorelin FDA approved?

Yes, for one specific indication: reducing excess abdominal visceral fat in people with HIV associated lipodystrophy, under the brand name Egrifta. It is prescription only in the US and also approved in Canada for that indication. Using it for general fat loss, bodybuilding, or anti-aging in someone without that diagnosis is outside its approved label, even though the drug itself is FDA approved.
