COVID infection has been linked to higher risk of autoimmune disorders, including rheumatoid arthritis and type 1 diabetes. But why the virus might cause the body’s immune system to go haywire remains unknown, making it difficult to develop therapies to avoid autoimmunity.

The Importance to Address and Help Visceral Adiposity in HIV Patients
Theratechnologies has received FDA approval for its supplemental Biologics License Application (sBLA) for EGRIFTA WR (Tesamorelin F8), a newly formulated treatment designed to reduce excess visceral abdominal fat in adults with HIV-associated lipodystrophy. The new formulation replaces the previously approved EGRIFTA SV, reducing the dosing frequency from daily to weekly reconstitution, which improves patient convenience […]
Clinical Insights on HIV-Associated Visceral Fat Following FDA Approval of Tesamorelin F8
The FDA has approved Theratechnologies’ supplemental Biologics License Application (sBLA) for EGRIFTA WR (Tesamorelin F8), a new formulation designed to treat excess visceral abdominal fat in adults with HIV-associated lipodystrophy. This version replaces EGRIFTA SV, reducing dosing frequency from daily to weekly reconstitution, improving patient convenience. Tesamorelin F8 maintains bioequivalence to its predecessor while requiring […]
