My endo and I disagree about ss-31 (elamipretide) need advice and I want a reality check.

They are saying that I do not need to worry about it but everything I have read here suggests otherwise.

I trust this community's collective knowledge but I also do not want to go against medical advice without good reason. What would you do?

SS-31 (Elamipretide) need advice — I actually dealt with this exact situation a few weeks ago.

Completely agree with Dr.BariatricHTX. I would add that SS-31 (Elamipretide) need also has implications for long-term metabolic health that sometimes get overlooked in these discussions.

In my case, following a similar approach led to significant improvements compared to what I was doing before.

+1. This mirrors my journey exactly. The SS-31 (Elamipretide) discussion here is so valuable.

As a pharmacist, I want to add some clinical context to this discussion on SS-31 (Elamipretide) need advice.

Building on what anna.melb_AU said — the evidence base here is robust. The key publications to reference are from the SUSTAIN program[1].

Key clinical points:

1. Efficacy is dose-dependent and typically requires 4-5 weeks to reach steady state
2. Side effect profile is predictable and usually manageable with standard protocols
3. Monitoring should include baseline labs and follow-up at 3-month intervals
4. Patient education significantly improves outcomes and adherence
