BPC-157
What is common, what is less so, and what to do if something is out of the ordinary.
What most people notice
Redness, warmth or a small bump at the injection site, which fades on its own in a day or two.
What can also happen
- Mild fatigue in the first few days.
- Mild dizziness or headaches.
- Temporary nausea.
- Swelling or itching at the injection site.
To reduce these effects
- Change the injection site every time.
- Do not raise the dose on your own.
- Drink water regularly.
When to talk to a professional
With this product, especially if you notice:
- A skin reaction that spreads beyond the injection site.
- Pain that increases instead of easing on an injured area.
- Unusual digestive symptoms that last.
If a symptom is severe, lingers or worries you, stop the product and talk to a healthcare professional. An immediate reaction after the injection, such as trouble breathing or swelling of the face, needs medical care right away.
Specific to this product
- It is not recommended with an active or recent cancer, and during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
- A serious injury that has not been assessed should first be seen by a healthcare professional.
