I've been prescribed R-Gene 10 10% Injection to test how well my pituitary gland makes growth hormone. The possible side effects list is pretty scary. I'm curious if anyone has had experience with this injection. How was your experience? Did you face any side effects? What precautions did your doctor take? I've been reading that it can cause tissue damage if it leaks from the vein, so any tips on that would be super helpful! And how effective was the test in diagnosing your condition?

I've also heard some pretty scary things about the potential life-threatening side effects, so I'm a bit nervous about that. Any advice or shared experiences would be greatly appreciated!
