Important safety information
For BPC-157. A summary, not the complete list of risks. If you add another treatment to your plan, its own page carries its safety information.
This is not for everyone
Only a licensed provider can decide whether this treatment is appropriate for you. Do not use it if you have had an allergic reaction to BPC-157 or its components, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Tell your provider about any current or past cancer, kidney or liver disease, a weakened immune system, and every medicine and supplement you take. If you compete in a tested sport, tell your provider before starting.
Serious risks
Allergic reactions are possible and need urgent care: hives, swelling of the face or throat, or trouble breathing. Human safety data for BPC-157 are limited, and long-term safety has not been established. Injecting can cause infection or bleeding at the injection site. Use it only as directed and follow your pharmacy’s instructions for storage, preparation and disposal.
Common side effects
Because human data are limited, the full range of side effects is not known. Redness, pain or swelling where you inject can occur. Tell your provider about any new or worsening symptom.
Combining treatments
Adding treatments at the same time makes it harder to tell which one is working and which one is causing a side effect. A provider will usually ask you to stage them, starting one and adding the next at a follow-up. If you add another treatment to your plan, its own safety information applies as well.
