Can't really address effectiveness, and I just go the injection yesterday, but the abdominal pain, lack of appetite and chills are not fun. My doctor says my body will adjust, but I have no idea how long that will take. Had I known about the intensity of the effects, I would have scheduled the first injection on a Friday.

The shot is VERY expensive and extra steps have to be taken with insurance to get approval but the manufacturer of the drug was very helpful in getting my claim approved and shipped directly to my doctors office. After original approval i didnt even have to call for refills the manufacturer or my drs office called each other and it was automatically filled

Can do injection at home as is premixed and ready to go. Extremely expensive (2300 per injection) but my insurance covers for now. Get a lump under the skin but it is not painful and it des not fully go away before alternating back to that side for the next injection. I have had 3 of these so far for acromegaly.
