Description
Sermorelin is a 29-amino acid polypeptide that mimics a hormone in the body known as growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH). It can help in situations where natural growth hormone levels are deficient.
How is Sermorelin used?
Sermorelin is normally given by an injection. However, our pharmacy can compound it into tablets and solutions that can go under the tongue, or into a lozenge-like formulation called a troche.
What are Sermorelin troches?
Sermorelin troches are custom compounded based on your individual dose and flavor preference. They are compounded in a special troche base that delivers the medication to be absorbed through your gums.
What is Sermorelin used for?
Sermorelin is usually used as a diagnostic test to evaluate the ability to secrete growth hormone. It can also be used to treat growth hormone deficiency in children.
