Sermorelin (Troche) - 30 QTY
Supplied by U.S. pharmacies.
Description
Product Overview and Formulation Facts
- Sermorelin is a synthetic peptide consisting of 29 amino acids.
- The supplied Scriptworks source lists sermorelin in troche form.
- Sermorelin is not human growth hormone (HGH).[3]
Sermorelin troche is a compounded oral form of a synthetic peptide related to growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH).
Clinical Research and Route-Specific Pharmacokinetics
In a published 1993 pharmacokinetic study, Wilton and colleagues compared intravenous and intranasal administration of the peptide in healthy men.[1] Hormone responses differed between routes.[1] The cited Wilton study did not test an oral troche.[1]
Formulation Distinctions and Medical Assessment
Historical regulatory decisions for injectable products do not extend to compounded oral medications.[2][4] The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) previously approved injectable sermorelin products.[2] Those injectable products were later discontinued.[2] A 2013 Federal Register notice determined that those products were not withdrawn from sale for safety or effectiveness reasons.[2] That finding does not verify the stability or efficacy of an oral troche prepared by a compounding pharmacy.[2][4]
