Understanding how your compounded Sermorelin may interact with other medications is essential to ensure both safety and effectiveness. Sermorelin works by stimulating your body’s natural production of growth hormone, and certain drugs can influence how well it works or how your body responds.

Here’s a comprehensive guide to potential medication interactions and what you should know while taking Sermorelin.

Interaction: Steroid medications can reduce the effectiveness of Sermorelin by inhibiting growth hormone release.
​Examples: Prednisone, hydrocortisone, dexamethasone.
​Management Tips: If you are prescribed steroids, discuss timing and dosage adjustments with your provider. In some cases, Sermorelin may need to be paused during steroid use.

Interaction: Sermorelin and thyroid hormones both influence metabolism. Taking them together may require dosage adjustments to maintain hormonal balance.
​Examples: Levothyroxine (Synthroid), liothyronine (Cytomel).
​Management Tips: Regular thyroid testing may be recommended to ensure optimal hormone levels. Always take medications as directed and report any symptoms such as fatigue, heart palpitations, or temperature changes.

Interaction: Sermorelin can affect blood sugar levels by increasing growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1).
​Examples: Insulin, metformin, glipizide, or other diabetes medications.
​Management Tips: Monitor your blood sugar closely. Your provider may adjust your diabetes medication or Sermorelin dosage to maintain stable glucose levels.

Interaction: These heart medications may reduce the body’s responsiveness to Sermorelin’s metabolic and fat-burning effects.
​Examples: Metoprolol, propranolol, atenolol.
​Management Tips: Inform your provider if you are on a beta blocker so your treatment plan can be adjusted if needed.

Interaction: Medications with anticholinergic properties can affect pituitary function and hormone balance, possibly interfering with Sermorelin’s effects.
​Examples: Diphenhydramine (Benadryl), oxybutynin, certain antidepressants.
​Management Tips: Use under provider supervision, and report any side effects such as dizziness, dry mouth, or confusion.

Interaction: High levels of estrogen can reduce the body’s response to growth hormone.
​Examples: Oral contraceptives, hormone replacement therapy (HRT).
​Management Tips: Your provider may recommend testing hormone levels periodically to ensure Sermorelin remains effective.

Interaction: Chronic alcohol use can impair pituitary function, reducing Sermorelin’s effectiveness.
​Management Tips: Limit or avoid alcohol consumption during treatment to achieve optimal results.

Always give your healthcare provider a full list of all medications, including:

Pay attention to changes in energy, sleep, mood, or blood sugar. Report any unusual side effects to your provider.

Follow up with your provider regularly to review your medication regimen and track your progress. Adjustments may be needed to optimize results and minimize interactions.

Do not start, stop, or change the dosage of any medication without consulting your provider first.

Being aware of potential medication interactions and maintaining open communication with your provider is key to the safe and effective use of Sermorelin.
