Why is tesamorelin taken at night?

This copies the body's natural pattern of releasing growth hormone during sleep. Timing a drug like tesamorelin to match that window is a common reason given for how it is used. This site does not give advice on how to take it. The approved Egrifta label sets its own instructions. Any timing choice for a compounded or research product should follow the product's own label or a prescriber's direction.
