Pick a symptom → likely causes, suggested bloodwork, and when to seek care.
Not diagnostic. This is a harm-reduction triage reference. The "seek care" thresholds are red flags — when in doubt, contact a clinician or emergency services.

Educational use only — not medical advice and not a diagnosis. Symptoms overlap across many conditions; this reference does not replace evaluation by a qualified clinician. For emergencies, contact your local emergency number immediately.
About this tool
The side-effect triage tool maps a symptom to likely causes, suggested bloodwork, and guidance on when to seek medical care. Pick a symptom (acne, fatigue, edema, mood changes, and others) and it returns common drivers in the context of hormone or peptide use, plus markers worth checking. It is a triage aid, not a diagnosis.
How to use it

- 2 Review the list of likely causes in the context of your stack.
- 3 Note the suggested bloodwork markers to discuss with your clinician.
- 4 Check the guidance on when to seek care, and follow it.
Frequently asked questions
Is this a diagnosis?
No, this is not medical advice and it isn't a diagnosis. The tool lists common causes for a symptom in the context of hormone and peptide use so you can have an informed conversation with a clinician. See a doctor for any serious or worsening symptom.
When should I seek immediate care?
Seek urgent care for chest pain, shortness of breath, severe abdominal pain, signs of a blood clot (sudden leg swelling or redness), a severe allergic reaction, or any symptom that feels dangerous. Trust your judgment and err on the side of getting help.
