Sermorelin

Sermorelin is a growth hormone releasing factor (GRF) that contains the first 29 amino acids that are needed to stimulate pituitary gland secretion of human growth hormone (HGH). The HGH that the body naturally produces contains 191 amino acids. HGH is an endocrine hormone, like estrogen or progesterone. Sermorelin is not the same thing as natural HGH produced in the body, it is the synthetic version of it. It works by stimulating the pituitary gland to produce more human growth hormone. It is often given to children with growth problems. It can also benefit adults who become deficient in HGH. Sermorelin can help aging adults keep their youthful look longer. Sermorelin also helps to alleviate some symptoms in patients who have HIV.

Sermorelin therapy can benefit adults to improve the appearance of wrinkles and increase the elasticity of the skin. Better bone strength and higher energy levels can be maintained. Men who take sermorelin benefit from having improved muscle mass, strength and stamina as well as well as increased sex drive and better sexual performance. Sermorelina also help improve kidney function and memory. Men can benefit from taking Sermorelin as well, because it increases the amounts of GHRH in to body so that health and vitality is sustained during the aging process. The amount of GHRH naturally declines as one ages. Sermorelin is given through subcutaneous injections and its affect on the body are the same as HGH. It is a viable and safe alternative to HGH replacement therapy and is completely legal. The FDA approved growth hormone injections for children in 1997. It was approved for experimental clinical use for adults in 1998. Adults who have growth hormone deficiencies can resolve them by taking Sermorelin.

Sermorelin side effects include pain at the injection site. The patient may experience headache, hyperactivity and flushing. Serious side effects include difficulty swallowing, vomiting and tightness in the chest. You should see your doctor immediately if you have serious side effects due to being injected with Sermorelin. Some people are allergic to Sermorelin and can experience symptoms of a rash, itchiness, dizziness, difficulty breathing and swelling. You should contact your doctor immediately if you have an allergic reaction after being injected with Sermorelin.

This medication should not be used during pregnancy and when breast feeding. People who have hypothyroidism, brain disorders, brain lesions and allergies of any kind should not take this medication. Sermorelin can interact with other medications, especially corticosteroids (e.g., prednisone), thyroid medications (e.g., levothyroxine). Be sure your doctor is aware of other medications you are taking before being injected with Sermorelin.

The normal dosage for Sermorelin can vary from patient to patient. Some patients prefer to take this medicine and inject it on their own. You should follow your doctor’s directions for use when injecting sermorelin for yourself. There is an increased risk for side effects if you use more than the doctor ordered. The dosage amount is tailored to the patient’s need. The injections are usually taken at night. Sermorelin clinics are available for people who are experiencing adult onset hormone deficiency. When you go to a Sermorelin clinic you will be monitored to make sure the therapy is working as it should and is not causing trouble for other systems in the body. You must have a prescription for sermorelin. Prescriptions for this medication are very expensive and can cost several thousand of dollars. Not all medical insurances will cover it. If you are not sure if your insurance will cover prescriptions for sermorelin therapy you should discuss your options with your medical doctor. Your insurance may cover this medication if it is being used to treat an illness.
