Uses
EGRIFTA® (tesamorelin for injection) is indicated for the reduction of excess abdominal fat in HIV-infected patients with lipodystrophy [see Clinical Studies (14)].
Limitations of Use:
- Since the long-term cardiovascular safety and potential long-term cardiovascular benefit of EGRIFTA® treatment have not been studied and are not known, careful consideration should be given whether to continue EGRIFTA® treatment in patients who do not show a clear efficacy response as judged by the degree of reduction in visceral adipose tissue measured by waist circumference or CT scan.
- EGRIFTA® is not indicated for weight loss management (weight neutral effect).
- There are no data to support improved compliance with anti-retroviral therapies in HIV-positive patients taking EGRIFTA®.
History

Other Information
EGRIFTA® contains tesamorelin (as the acetate salt), an analog of human growth hormone-releasing factor (GRF). The peptide precursor of tesamorelin acetate is produced synthetically and is comprised of the 44 amino acid sequence of human GRF. Tesamorelin acetate is made by attaching a hexenoyl moiety, a C6 chain with a double bond at position 3, to the tyrosine residue at the N-terminal part of the molecule. The molecular formula of tesamorelin acetate is C221H366N72O67S • x C2H4O2 (x ≈ 7) and its molecular weight (free base) is 5135.9 Daltons. The structural formula of tesamorelin acetate is:
EGRIFTA® is a sterile, white to off-white, preservative-free lyophilized powder for subcutaneous injection. After reconstitution with the supplied diluent (Sterile Water for Injection, USP), a solution of EGRIFTA® is clear and colorless. Each single-use vial of EGRIFTA® contains 1 mg of tesamorelin as the free base (1.1 mg tesamorelin acetate, anhydrous) and the following inactive ingredient: 50 mg mannitol, USP.
