Frequently asked questions
What is Sermorelin?
Sermorelin is a 29-amino-acid peptide that mimics the body’s own growth-hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH). By stimulating your pituitary gland, it encourages a natural, pulsatile release of growth hormone (GH) rather than replacing GH outright.
Is Sermorelin FDA-approved?
An FDA-approved brand (Geref®) was discontinued years ago, so today Sermorelin is only available as a compounded medication prepared by 503A/503B pharmacies under physician order. That makes it legally prescribable, but it is not an FDA-approved drug product and cannot be marketed as such. (RxList, Foley & Lardner LLP)
How can Sermorelin therapy benefit me?
In adults with sub-optimal GH output it may improve energy, sleep quality, lean-body mass, fat metabolism, recovery from exercise, and overall well-being. Individual responses vary and benefits build gradually over 2–3 months of consistent use.
Who is a good candidate?
Men and women 25 + who have symptoms of low GH (fatigue, poor recovery, stubborn weight gain) and sub-optimal IGF-1 levels on lab testing. It is not appropriate for patients with active cancer, uncontrolled diabetes, severe sleep apnea, or complete GH deficiency requiring recombinant HGH.
How is it taken?
A tiny sub-cutaneous (under-the-skin) injection. Night dosing lines up with your body’s natural GH peak and minimizes injection‐site irritation. (RxList)
Does it need to be refrigerated?
Yes. Keep vials between 36–46 °F (2–8 °C).
What side effects should I watch for?
The most common is mild redness or swelling at the injection site. Less often patients report headache, flushing, or dizziness. Serious reactions (hives, difficulty breathing) are rare but require immediate medical attention. (RxList)
How is Sermorelin different from recombinant HGH?
Sermorelin stimulates your pituitary to release GH, so the body still controls how much GH is produced, reducing the risk of overdosing and pituitary shutdown. Recombinant HGH supplies supra-physiologic GH directly and carries a higher risk of edema, insulin resistance, and carpal-tunnel-like symptoms.
Can I use my insurance or HSA/FSA?
Most insurers don’t cover compounded peptides, but many patients use HSA or FSA funds. We’ll provide a detailed invoice you can submit for possible out-of-network reimbursement.
What if I miss a dose?
Skip it and resume your regular schedule the next night. Do not double up; Sermorelin works cumulatively over time, so one missed dose won’t derail your progress.
How long should I stay on therapy?
We generally recommend an initial 6-month course with quarterly check-ins. Some patients transition to a maintenance schedule (e.g., 5 nights on / 2 nights off) once their goals are met, while others pause therapy and monitor IGF-1 levels.

Important safety information
What you should know before using Sermorelin.
Sermorelin: Important Safety Information
1. Introduction
- What is Sermorelin?
Sermorelin is a synthetic peptide analog of growth hormone–releasing hormone (GHRH). It works by stimulating the pituitary gland to produce and secrete natural growth hormone (GH). - Regulatory Status
Sermorelin may be prescribed or compounded by certain healthcare providers but may not be approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for all uses. If you prefer only FDA-approved medications for your condition, please consult your healthcare provider for alternatives.
2. Potential Benefits & Indications
- Common Uses
Some practitioners use sermorelin to help address growth hormone deficiencies, promote lean body mass, support energy levels, or assist with certain aspects of aging. - Limitations
The efficacy of sermorelin for anti-aging or athletic performance enhancement is not conclusively established in large-scale clinical trials. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease beyond those conditions specifically recognized by your healthcare professional.
3. Contraindications
You should not use sermorelin if you:
- Have an active malignancy, especially related to the pituitary gland or hypothalamus.
- Have a known hypersensitivity or allergy to sermorelin or any of its components.
- Are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, unless advised otherwise by a qualified healthcare professional.
- Have severe or unstable medical conditions (e.g., uncontrolled diabetes, advanced kidney or liver disease) without close medical supervision.
4. Warnings & Precautions
-
- Not FDA-Approved for All Uses
- Sermorelin may be used off-label for certain conditions. Its safety and efficacy for those uses are not fully evaluated by the FDA.
-
- Consult a Healthcare Professional
- Provide your full medical history to your healthcare provider before starting sermorelin.
- Discuss any other medications, supplements, or therapies you are using, as these can impact sermorelin’s efficacy or risk profile.
-
- Pre-Existing Conditions
- If you have diabetes, thyroid disorders, or any endocrine-related condition, careful monitoring may be needed because sermorelin can affect hormone balance.
-
- Use in Specific Populations
- The safety of sermorelin in children, pregnant women, or nursing mothers has not been thoroughly established outside of specific medical indications.
- Use only under professional guidance if you belong to these populations.
5. Potential Side Effects
Contact your healthcare provider if any symptoms become severe or do not resolve:
- Injection Site Reactions
- Redness, pain, swelling, or itching at the site of injection.
- If signs of infection (e.g., warmth, pus, significant tenderness) occur, seek medical attention.
-
- Flushing or Headaches
- Some people may experience flushing, mild headaches, or lightheadedness.
- If headaches are persistent or severe, discontinue use and consult your healthcare provider.
-
- Nausea or Dizziness
- Occasional nausea or dizziness can occur.
- Discontinue and speak with a healthcare provider if these symptoms worsen or persist.
-
- Increased Hunger
- A change in appetite or mild GI discomfort may be noticed.
-
- Allergic Reactions
- Rash, hives, swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat, or difficulty breathing may signal a serious allergic reaction.
- Seek immediate medical care if anaphylaxis is suspected.
6. Drug Interactions
- Other Medications/Supplements
- Sermorelin may interact with medications that influence the endocrine system, glucose metabolism, or other peptides/hormones.
- Always inform your healthcare provider about all prescription, over-the-counter medications, and supplements you use.

- Typically administered as a subcutaneous (under the skin) injection.
- Injections should be performed as directed by a qualified healthcare professional or according to detailed instructions provided.

- Timing & Technique
- Your healthcare provider may advise specific timing (e.g., bedtime) to optimize the natural growth hormone cycle.
- Proper injection technique is essential to minimize side effects and ensure effectiveness.
8. Monitoring & Follow-up
- Lab Tests
- Your healthcare provider may recommend periodic blood tests (e.g., IGF-1 levels) to monitor hormone levels and treatment response.
- Physical Check-ups
- Regular check-ups may be necessary to track weight, body composition, or other health indicators.
9. Storage & Handling
- Storage
- Store sermorelin according to the temperature guidelines provided on the label or by your pharmacist (often refrigerated).
