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
  • new or worsening high blood sugar or diabetes. Your blood sugar may need to be monitored during treatment with SKYTROFA
  • increase in pressure in the skull. Contact your healthcare provider if headaches, eye problems, nausea, or vomiting occur
  • too much fluid in the body (fluid retention). Contact your healthcare provider if you notice swelling in the hands and feet, pain in the joints or muscles, or nerve problems that cause pain, burning or tingling in the hands, arms, legs, and feet
  • decrease in a hormone called cortisol. Your healthcare provider will do blood tests to check your cortisol levels
  • decrease in thyroid hormone levels. Decreased thyroid hormone levels may affect how well SKYTROFA works. Your healthcare provider will do blood tests to check your thyroid hormone levels
  • hip and knee pain or a limp in children (slipped capital femoral epiphysis). This may lead to a serious condition where bone tissue dies due to a lack of blood supply (osteonecrosis). Get medical help right away for children who develop a limp or have hip or knee pain
  • worsening of curvature of the spine in children (scoliosis)
  • severe and constant abdominal pain. This could be a sign of pancreatitis. Tell your healthcare provider about any new abdominal pain

  • high risk of sudden death in children with Prader-Willi syndrome who are severely obese or have breathing problems, including sleep apnea
  • increase in phosphate, alkaline phosphatase, and parathyroid hormone levels in your blood. Your healthcare provider will do blood tests to check this

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