Sermorelin Therapy Prescription
Contents
A diagnosis of growth hormone deficiency is required to obtain a prescription for sermorelin therapy from your doctor.
You cannot under any circumstances purchase sermorelin online. Sermorelin is only given to you by your doctor once he or she has determined that you qualify for a sermorelin prescription through proper diagnosis and testing.
Why Do I Need a Prescription for HGH or Sermorelin?
You need a prescription for sermorelin injections because sermorelin is a controlled substance just like testosterone, human growth hormone, and other medications used to treat age-related hormone deficiencies.
Sermorelin is prescribed to certain qualifying patients with growth hormone deficiency (GHD)as an alternative to human growth hormone (HGH). Sermorelin is not HGH, but it does stimulate your body to produce more HGH on its own. In cases where your HGH levels are only slightly below normal, a prescription for sermorelin therapy alone may be enough to get your levels back into the normal range.
In many cases of GHD sermorelin, therapy and HGH are prescribed together.
What kind of Doctors Prescribe Sermorelin?
Any medical doctor, MD, OD, or ND who can legally write prescriptions can give you a prescription for sermorelin therapy. However, that does not mean that you want to get your prescription for sermorelin from “just any doctor.”
For best results and optimal safety and efficacy, you want to get your prescription for sermorelin injections from a doctor or medical clinic that specializes in the treatment of hormone replacement therapies for age-related hormone decline.
Such a doctor will know how to tailor your sermorelin treatments to your particular needs, goals, and lifestyle, and also how to perhaps combine it with other therapies such as ipamorelin therapy or growth hormone replacement therapy to maximize your results.
Can I Get Sermorelin Prescription Online?
No, under no circumstances can you purchase sermorelin online. As stated above, it is only available with a doctor’s prescription, and once prescribed, your doctor will provide you with your sermorelin therapy injection kit.
You must avoid any website or online retailer that offers to sell you sermorelin online with or without a prescription. Buying sermorelin from such sites is not only illegal, but it could also be hazardous to your health, or even fatal!
Even if you get your sermorelin 100% legally, the doctor or clinic you get your sermorelin therapy prescription from matters.
You want to work with a facility that specializes in hormone replacement therapies, and therefore is uniquely qualified to diagnose and treat growth hormone deficiencies. Treating age-related hormone decline is as much of an art as a science, and you want to work with clinicians like ours who are aware of the subtle nuances of using sermorelin along with potentially other therapies to bring all of your critical hormones back into proper balance.
How Do I Get a Prescription for Sermorelin?
If all of what we have said so far has left you with the impression that getting a prescription for sermorelin therapy is difficult, it is not. In fact, it only requires these five simple steps.

- Step 3 – Laboratory hormone testing – Once you have completed your physical exam, you will be referred to a laboratory to have the HGH levels in your blood tested.
- Step 4 – You will obtain a prescription for a program of sermorelin injections – If the results of your laboratory tests show that your HGH levels are low and your doctor feels that you can benefit from sermorelin, he or she will prescribe a dosage to suit your needs and lifestyle.

How Much Does a Prescription for Sermorelin Cost?
The main advantage of sermorelin therapy over HGH therapy is that for those who qualify, prescription sermorelin injections could be a significantly cheaper alternative to HGH injections.
The average monthly cost of sermorelin or ipamorelin injections is significantly lower than HGH injections. On average, HGH injections cost anywhere from $750 to $2000 per month, depending on the dose and brand of HGH. Sermorelin injections cost about $400 to $750 per month.

FAQ
1. What Is Sermorelin?
Sermorelin is part of the family of growth hormone-releasing agents. As a releasing agent, sermorelin stimulates your pituitary gland to produce more of your own natural growth hormone. Generally speaking, sermorelin is less expensive and has fewer possible side effects than growth hormone therapy.
2. How is Sermorelin Administered?
Sermorelin is available as a sterile, non-pyrogenic, lyophilized powder intended for subcutaneous injection after reconstitution with Sodium Chloride Injection, USP. The reconstituted solution has a pH of 5.0 to 5.5. Sermorelin is available in vials 0.5mg or 3.0 mg vials.
Sermorelin is given via self-injection under the skin (subcutaneously).
3. Do Sermorelin Injections Hurt?
No. Once you learn how to do them properly, sermorelin injections are practically painless. The needles used for sermorelin therapy are a very small gauge, like those used for insulin or other subcutaneous injections.
Your prescription for Sermorelin will contain a patient instruction sheet. Read this sheet carefully and make sure you understand:
- How to prepare the injection.
- The proper use of disposable syringes and needles, including safe handling and disposal.
- How to give the injection.
- How long the injection is safe to use.
- It is best to use a different place on the body for each injection (for example, abdomen, hip, thigh, or upper arm). To help you remember to do this, you may want to keep a record of the date and location for each injection.

6. Is There Over-the-Counter Sermorelin?
No. Sermorelin is a controlled substance. It is a prescription drug. There is no such thing as “over-the-counter” or “non-prescription” sermorelin. Any product that claims to be sermorelin or HGH, or contain sermorelin or HGH, that you can buy online or anywhere else without a prescription is not any kind of authentic growth hormone therapy.
Furthermore, genuine prescription sermorelin or HGH is only prescribed as an injectable liquid. Any product claiming to be growth hormone or contain any growth hormone or sermorelin that comes in a pill, powder, or anything other than an injection is not true growth hormone.
