Dosing guide
Sermorelin dosage explained
Reviewed by the FaroRx clinical team · Updated September 2026
The short answer
Sermorelin is typically prescribed as a nightly subcutaneous injection taken on an empty stomach, because growth hormone release naturally peaks in early sleep. Your provider sets the exact dose and schedule based on your age, goals, labs and response — this guide explains the principles, not a dose to self-prescribe.
Why timing matters more than size
Growth hormone is released in pulses, the largest of them shortly after you fall asleep. Injecting at night on an empty stomach amplifies that pulse. Eating close to the injection — carbohydrate in particular — raises insulin and blunts the release, which is why a late meal can undo an otherwise correct dose.
Practical rules
- Inject roughly 30 minutes before bed.
- Leave at least two hours after your last meal.
- Rotate injection sites around the abdomen.
- Store as directed by the pharmacy label; do not freeze.
- Consistency beats chasing higher doses.

Common questions
What is a typical sermorelin dose?
Dosing is individualised by your provider based on your labs, age and goals. FaroRx does not publish a self-prescribing dose.
Can I inject sermorelin in the morning?
It is far less effective. The nightly growth hormone pulse is what sermorelin amplifies.
What if I miss a dose?
Skip it and resume the next night. Do not double up.
