What Are the Known Side Effects of HGH?

Because pharmaceutical HGH has been studied in formal clinical trials since its approval in the 1980s, its side-effect profile is relatively well characterized in the medical literature compared to unregulated research chemicals. Commonly reported effects in patients under physician-supervised treatment include peripheral edema (fluid retention), arthralgia (joint pain), myalgia (muscle pain), and carpal tunnel-like symptoms, particularly at treatment initiation.

Longer-term or excessive exposure is documented in the literature as carrying more serious risks, including insulin resistance and impaired glucose tolerance, and — in cases of sustained, uncontrolled excess — acromegaly, a condition involving abnormal enlargement of bone and soft tissue. This is why legitimate HGH therapy is administered under physician supervision with regular lab monitoring rather than self-directed.
