Semax
Semax is a synthetic peptide derived from a fragment of ACTH, developed decades ago and used as a prescription in some countries. The pharmacy dispenses it as a compounded 6mL nasal spray at 750mcg or 1250mcg. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved, and a licensed provider reviews your history before prescribing.
Pharmacy shipping: $20 added once per medication order.
About this treatment
Explore neurological care in a nasal form.
Semax is a synthetic peptide studied for its effects on brain signaling. IAM offers a compounded nasal spray, with a clinician-led review of your cognitive concerns, health history and the care that fits your situation.
A research focus on nerve-cell communication
Semax is a short synthetic peptide based on a fragment of ACTH. Researchers have investigated its relationship with BDNF and other signals involved in how nerve cells communicate and adapt. This neurological research is the starting point for understanding the interest in Semax.
A nasal spray, without injections
IAM lists Semax as a compounded nasal spray. Your provider selects the preparation and discusses how it fits your care, while the pharmacy supplies the administration and storage instructions. Bring any other nasal products and medicines to that discussion so the full plan is clear.
Keep the conversation centered on you
Tell your clinician what you have noticed in daily life, such as a change in memory, and when it began. A review of your symptoms, medicines and medical history helps identify the next steps. Your goals and how you function day to day give follow-up a practical focus.
Research and product information
The cited research includes laboratory work and a small human brain-imaging study. These do not establish a focus or memory benefit for healthy adults using IAM's compounded spray. Long-term safety and interaction information remain limited; FDA identifies potential immune-reaction and peptide-impurity concerns.
