Safety notes

Systemic administration can lower blood pressure and alter fluid, renal and hormonal regulation. Clinical use requires medical monitoring; long-term therapeutic safety is not established.

Regulation
  • No broadly approved adrenomedullin medicine for general cardiovascular, anti-ageing or recovery use. Therapeutic analogues and antibodies remain product- and indication-specific.
