Why does ipamorelin cause joint pain?

This site's ipamorelin citations do not measure joint pain. The one human study, 117 bowel-resection patients, found intravenous ipamorelin well tolerated and not significantly faster than placebo at a first tolerated meal (25.3 versus 32.6 hours). The 1998 paper that defined ipamorelin measured growth-hormone release and selectivity versus cortisol and prolactin in animals, not joints in people. Community reports of joint pain are not a counted trial outcome. This FAQ does not invent an adverse-event rate the citations do not contain.

Part of names, absences, and legal limits. Brand versus molecule, side effects this site's citations did not measure, how long the trials actually ran, what national legal-status fields can say, and why two-compound answers do not scale to a larger stack.
