The one condition tesamorelin was built for, and why
Tesamorelin has a narrow but real home: HIV-associated lipodystrophy, a disfiguring fat-redistribution syndrome that left patients with excess visceral fat, dyslipidemia, and insulin resistance, with no approved drug to treat it.
This unit covers what lipodystrophy is, the pathobiology behind it, why tesamorelin rather than recombinant GH answered the need, which fat depot it targets, and how the modern integrase-inhibitor era has reshaped the population.
