Sermorelin

GHRH analogue

Prescription medicine

What it is

A growth-hormone-releasing hormone analogue.

What the evidence shows

Sermorelin has an established pharmacology as a GHRH analogue and a historical diagnostic and therapeutic role. Evidence for general "anti-ageing" or performance use is limited and not an approved indication.

Safety & reported risks

Under medical supervision, side effects are typically injection-site reactions, flushing or headache. Used without oversight or sourced from unregulated suppliers, the risks rise sharply.

Status in Australia

Available in Australia only via a prescription from a registered doctor, often dispensed through a compounding pharmacy.

How it’s lawfully accessed

A prescription-only pathway exists: a registered doctor may prescribe it, frequently via a compounding pharmacy. It is not an over-the-counter or online-checkout product.

Frequently asked questions

Can my GP prescribe sermorelin?

A registered doctor can prescribe it where clinically appropriate, often through a compounding pharmacy. Any legitimate access involves a genuine consultation, not a no-prescription purchase.
