Treatment for Lipohypertrophy Sep 29, 2010 I am dealing with a case of lipohypertrophy. It seems like whenever I research lipodystrophy, everything is about lipoatrophy and nothing about lipohypertrophy. It is very upsetting, especially since this occurred because I WAS taking my meds like I was instructed. Are there any successful treatments for this condition? |

 We are waiting for the FDA to potentially approve Egrifta (tesamorelin), which is a daily subcutaneous injection of growth hormone releasing hormone that makes your body make your own growth hormone. It can decrease visceral fat by 15% in 26 weeks. But we do not know if insurance companies, Medicare part D and Medicaid will pay for the drug. So we are awaiting! Keep an eye on this story by reading this column. WE will post any developments as soon as they come out. Nelson | ||||||||
