What it may help with
The benefits of Sermorelin Injection
Sermorelin prompts your body to release more of its own growth hormone, a hormone involved in:
Deep sleep
Most of your growth hormone is released during deep sleep.
Lean muscle
Growth hormone helps maintain lean muscle.
Strong bones
It helps maintain bone strength over time.
Fat metabolism
It helps regulate how your body uses and stores fat.
Recovery
It takes part in repairing tissue after exercise.
Skin and connective tissue
It helps your body make collagen.
Individual results vary. Benefits are not guaranteed and depend on your provider's evaluation and your plan. Evidence that sermorelin changes sleep, body composition or energy in healthy adults is limited.
Understanding Sermorelin Injection
What to know first.
How it works
Sermorelin is a lab-made analog of the first 29 amino acids of human growth hormone–releasing hormone (GHRH), a hormone made in the brain. It signals the pituitary gland to release the body's own growth hormone, in the body's own rhythm. How any one person responds varies, and your provider explains what this means for you.
Who it may be for
A provider may consider sermorelin for some adults after reviewing their health history, current medicines and goals. It is not for anyone allergic to sermorelin or any ingredient in the preparation, and its safety during pregnancy and breastfeeding has not been established through FDA review. Your provider decides.

What is sermorelin?
Sermorelin is a lab-made analog of growth hormone–releasing hormone (GHRH), a compound that signals the pituitary gland to release the body's own growth hormone. The version a provider may prescribe through Forever Health Rx is compounded: it is prepared for an individual patient by a state-licensed pharmacy and is not FDA-approved. Whether it is appropriate for you is decided by a licensed provider after reviewing your health history.
Was sermorelin ever FDA-approved?
Yes. A brand-name product, GEREF (sermorelin acetate) injection, was approved for idiopathic growth hormone deficiency in children with growth failure, and another form was approved for testing pituitary function. The maker discontinued both in 2008, and the FDA withdrew the approvals in 2009. In 2013 the FDA determined that they were not withdrawn from sale for reasons of safety or effectiveness.
Is compounded sermorelin equivalent to the former brand-name product?
No. Compounded sermorelin is prepared by a state-licensed pharmacy for one patient under a prescription. It is not FDA-approved, the FDA does not review it for safety, effectiveness or quality, and it is not a generic version of, or equivalent to, any branded medication. Your provider can explain what this means before any decision is made.
What side effects have been reported?
In published studies, sermorelin was generally well tolerated, and the most commonly reported side effects were short-lived facial flushing and pain where the injection was given. These are not all the possible side effects. Tell your provider about any reaction, and report side effects to the FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch. In an emergency, call 911.
How is sermorelin given, and who sets the dose?
In published studies, sermorelin was given as an injection under the skin. If a provider prescribes it, your provider sets the dose and how often to use it, and the pharmacy label gives your directions. This page does not give dosing information. Never share needles or vials, and follow the pharmacy's storage and disposal instructions.
Does completing an online visit mean I will be prescribed sermorelin?
No. Completing an online visit or paying does not mean a prescription will be issued. A licensed provider reviews your health history, medicines and goals and decides whether sermorelin, another option or no treatment is right for you. If it is not appropriate, you will be told why. Not everyone qualifies.
