What are the possible side effects of SKYTROFA?

SKYTROFA may cause serious side effects, including:

  • serious allergic reactions. Get medical help right away if you have swelling of the face, mouth, tongue, or throat or trouble breathing
  • high risk of death in people who have critical illnesses caused by heart or stomach surgery, trauma, or serious breathing problems
  • increased risk of growth of an existing tumor or cancer, or increased risk of a previous tumor or cancer returning in people who were treated with radiation to the brain or head as children and who developed low growth hormone problems. Your healthcare provider will need to monitor for the growth or return of a tumor or cancer. Contact your healthcare provider if you start to have sudden changes in behavior, headaches, vision problems, or changes in moles, birthmarks, or skin color

The most common side effects of SKYTROFA in adults include: swelling due to fluid build-up and low thyroid hormone
