Ipamorelin

Ipamorelin (NNC 26-0161), Aib-His-D-2-Nal-D-Phe-Lys-NH2

Single peptideSource verified
Evidence
Human observational or case reports
Route
Human trials used intravenous administration. Subcutaneous use is the common non-clinical route and is not supported by an approval or a route-matched efficacy trial we could verify.
Schedule
Not established. No approved regimen exists. Published clinical work used short investigational intravenous dosing in a hospital setting.
