Cerebrolysin Dosage & Reconstitution Guide
Research and educational use only — not medical advice, and not for human consumption. The figures below are summarized from public sources, product labeling, and community reports, and are not a prescription or a substitute for a qualified clinician.
Dosing schedule
| Phase | Dose | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Low IM course | 5 mL | 5 mL/day IM |
| Standard | 10 mL | 10 mL/day |
| High (IV only) | 30 mL | up to 30 mL/day by slow infusion |
Timing & cycling
Given by IM injection (small volumes) or slow IV infusion (larger volumes) by a clinician, typically 5 days per week.
Cycle length. Standard courses run 10–20 treatment days, often repeated in blocks.
Storage & handling
Keep the lyophilized (unmixed) vial refrigerated at 2–8 °C (36–46 °F) in a dry, dark place — it tolerates short periods at room temperature during shipping. Once reconstituted, store it at 2–8 °C, never frozen, and use it within about 2–4 weeks (sooner if the solution turns cloudy or discolored). Swab the stopper before every draw and use a fresh needle each time.
Key points
- Supplied as a sterile ready-to-use ampoule solution — no reconstitution, and larger daily volumes require IV infusion, not a home injection.
- Doses are in millilitres of a standardized solution, not mg of peptide — do not convert it to the other entries' math.
What to monitor
This is a clinician-administered neurotrophic preparation used for stroke and dementia in several countries — cognitive/neurological follow-up belongs with the prescriber.
Legal & prescription status
Not FDA-approved in the United States. It is an approved/prescription medicine in a number of countries in Europe and Asia (not the US), but in the US it is sold only as a research chemical labelled 'not for human consumption,' with no legal route to a prescription.
