Cortexin Nootropic Peptide Marketed in Russia/CIS (Geropharm); human clinical use with limited-quality evidence (small, mostly Russian-language studies; no Western RCT; not FDA/EMA approved) # Cortexin Dosage Guide: Protocols, Calculator & Safety Everything you need to know about Cortexin dosing — protocols, safety, and where to buy. Half-Life ~2-3 hours (estimated from analog peptide preparations) [ Dosage Calculator Calculate exact dosing for Cortexin. ](/tools/dosage) ## Dosing Protocols Beginner #### Beginner protocol - **Dose:** 10mg/day IM (lyophilized; reconstitute with saline) - **Route:** Intramuscular injection - **Frequency:** Once daily AM - **Duration:** 10-day cycles Standard #### Intermediate protocol - **Dose:** 10-20mg/day IM - **Frequency:** Once daily - **Duration:** 10-20 day cycles, repeat every 3-6 months Advanced #### Advanced protocol - **Dose:** 20mg/day IM, split as 10mg AM + 10mg PM. This is the highest dose documented in the Russian clinical literature ([PMID 28635743 ](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28635743/)). Doses above 20mg/day are anecdotal and undocumented, with no supporting efficacy or safety data. - **Frequency:** 2x daily (split AM/PM) - **Duration:** 10-day courses; the documented label regimen repeats a second 10-day course after a ~10-day interval, with further courses at 3-6 month intervals ## Commonly Stacked With Frequently stacked with [Cerebrolysin](/compound/cerebrolysin) for amplified neurotrophic effect, [Semax](/compound/semax) for cognitive enhancement, and [Pinealon](/compound/pinealon) for circadian rhythm support. ## Side Effects & Safety Reported adverse effects come almost entirely from the Russian product label and post-marketing use, not from Western controlled trials, so the true incidence is poorly characterized. - Hypersensitivity and allergic reactions (the most commonly listed reaction) - Injection-site pain, redness, or irritation (intramuscular route) - Rare: agitation, restlessness, or insomnia, especially if the evening dose is given late - Occasional headache Note: this safety information derives from the Russian manufacturer's label (Geropharm) and small Russian-language studies, not from FDA/EMA-reviewed trials. Contraindications Per the Russian manufacturer's label (Geropharm), not from Western regulatory review: - Known hypersensitivity to Cortexin or any component of the preparation - Pregnancy (listed largely because of absent safety data rather than demonstrated harm) - Lactation / breastfeeding Caution: safety in these populations has not been established in controlled trials. These contraindications reflect the Russian product label, not FDA/EMA guidance. Cortexin is not approved for use outside Russia/CIS.
