Personal review and urgent help
Ask about harms before starting care.
Ask the prescriber to explain possible harms for your own situation and how to get help. Keep the urgent-help guidance below separate from ordinary follow-up questions.
A severe allergic reaction needs urgent help
With a severe allergic reaction, you might faint or notice swelling in your tongue or face. Trouble swallowing or breathing can be another sign. These reactions can come on quickly and threaten life.
Get help now: dial 911, or head to the closest emergency room.
This urgent-help advice comes from MedlinePlus, the US National Library of Medicine's service for health information. It cannot tell you what caused the reaction; do not use it to diagnose yourself.

Older research
What was reported
The older sermorelin research most often reported brief warmth and redness in the face, plus pain at the spot where a shot was given. These reports mostly came from child studies. They do not tell us how often these problems happen with today's pharmacy-made adult medicines.

Important gap
No up-to-date FDA information sheet
As of September 28, 2026, no current FDA-reviewed information sheet is available for sermorelin. FDA, short for Food and Drug Administration, is the agency overseeing US drugs. There is no current FDA-reviewed account explaining how often side effects happen or what use means during pregnancy.
Growth hormone is a substance that carries messages within the body. In reviews of related drugs, FDA discussed possible harms from higher growth hormone levels, including raised blood sugar and fluid build-up. FDA raised these concerns about drugs that make the body release more growth hormone. It did not find that sermorelin caused these harms. Ask which concerns may apply to you.

What written storage information will the pharmacy give for this exact medicine?
