Why is tesamorelin taken at night?

This mirrors the body's natural pattern of releasing growth hormone during sleep, so timing a GHRH analogue like tesamorelin to coincide with that window is a common rationale in how it is used. This site does not give administration recommendations; the approved Egrifta label sets its own specific instructions, and any timing decision for a compounded or research use product should follow the product's own labeling or a prescriber's direction.
