When to stop
- Numbness, tingling or persistent pain in the hands or wrists. This is a growth hormone effect and it can become carpal tunnel syndrome.
- Swelling that does not settle, particularly in the ankles or face.
- Rising fasting glucose, or new symptoms of high blood sugar: unusual thirst, frequent urination, blurred vision.
- Nipple tenderness or discharge, or a change in menstrual cycle. Possible signs of a prolactin effect.
- Any allergic response: rash, hives, facial swelling or difficulty breathing. Seek urgent care.
- Any new lump, unexplained weight loss or unexplained persistent pain. Growth hormone is a growth signal, and a new mass should be investigated before continuing.
