Cerebrolysin Dosage & Reconstitution

Porcine brain-derived peptide preparation. Work out exactly what to draw for your own mix, see the doses used in research, and follow a week-by-week plan. Evidence tier: clinical.

1Set Up Your Mix

60 mg/mL · 60000 mcg/mL
All answers assume a standard 1 mL U-100 syringe, where 1 unit = 0.01 mL. That is the usual insulin syringe and the one every number here is based on.

This calculator doesn't work for Cerebrolysin. Doses for this one are set by body weight, or it comes ready-mixed. Ignore the numbers above — read the notes further down instead.

2Week-By-Week Plan — Cerebrolysin

not applicable
No week-by-week plan for Cerebrolysin. This one is dosed by body weight, comes ready-mixed, or only has a single dose reported — so there is nothing to work up through.

Not a single peptide but a standardised mixture of low-molecular-weight peptides and amino acids of porcine origin. Approved in a number of countries for stroke and dementia; Cochrane reviews of the evidence have been notably unenthusiastic.
