DOSING:
New patients not previously on an injectable weight loss medication will start at the 2.5mg for the first 4 weeks. You may then move up to the 5mg dose for the next 4 weeks, then 7.5mg for 4 weeks, etc. However, you do NOT have to move up in dosing until you are ready. If you are having successful weight loss on a certain dose, you do not have to move up. Also, if you are having significant side effects on a dose, you should spend another 4 weeks on your current dose before you move up.
WHAT IS SERMORELIN?
Sermorelin is a peptide that stimulates the release of human growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH) from the hypthothalamus, which promotes the natural production and release of growth hormone (HGH) from the pituitary gland.
HGH is normally produced during our youth and helps build muscle, build bone, breakdown fat, and keep our skin young and healthy. As we get older, GH levels decline to the point that most people over age 50 have levels way below optimum. Directly administering GH can be tricky in that too much can be administered and does not induce the natural physiologic "pulse".
Sermorelin stimulates your own natural production of HGH, which works with our body's natural feedback mechanisms to prevent you from getting too much HGH. It's a cheaper and safer way to naturally restore your HGH levels.
SERMORELIN BENEFITS
Joint Commission guidelines for proper use of many multi-dose vials include the recommendation to discard the vial 4 weeks after first puncture, even though the Beyond Use Date (BUD) may be longer. These guidelines are generally followed in office and hospital settings, particularly when the vial is used for multiple different patients. However, this same suggestion is made for vials punctured several times a day or only once a week. With certain vial sizes/doses/packages, using all of the medication in the vial without wasting any could result in a patient using the vial for longer than 28 days after first puncture. If you choose to use your vial longer than 28 days after first puncture due to package size or maintenance dosing, you must acknowledge that you understand the Joint Commission recommendations to discard the vial 28 days after first puncture, even if you only puncture the vial once a week. You will be using the vial at your own discretion.
If you have any concerns about this issue and for best safety practices, please choose a 4-week package and discard any medication leftover 28 days after first puncture.
