The clinical application of growth hormone has been over 30 years. Existing data demonstrate that growth hormone is relatively safe with a low overall incidence of adverse reactions. The main reported adverse reactions of growth hormone treatment include local transient reactions at the injection site (redness, swelling, or rash), symptoms of fluid retention (peripheral edema, joint pain, or muscle pain, benign intracranial hypertension). These side effects typically occur early and often decrease over time with continued use, rarely interfering with daily physical activities. There are also cases of abnormal blood sugar levels and hypothyroidism, which are mostly alleviated after discontinuation of the medication. Overall, it is considered safe.
