A member asked:
If a growth hormone dose of 2 iu once daily ( for building muscles and fat loss) taken for 20 weeks , what are the more likely side effects can occur?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many possibilities: There is no way to predict what side effects you may develop, but it is illegal and risky to take growth hormone that is not medically indicated. Who knows what's in what you're taking? It may not be growth hormone to begin with, so it is impossible to state what side effects could occur. You can look up the side effects for growth hormone yourself, after all you're already treating yourself
