Adipotide injection site soreness and thirst – normal?

Posted by sarah_codes in Safety & Side Effects - 3 points, 3 comments.

I tried a tiny amount of Adipotide just to see how my body reacts. For what it is worth the injection site got red and sore for a day or two. I also noticed I was drinking way more water than usual and felt a bit dehydrated even though I was sipping constantly.
