| Mechanism (summary) | Hexarelin is a potent synthetic growth-hormone secretagogue. Relative to ipamorelin it is less selective: it reliably stimulates GH but also stimulates prolactin, ACTH, and cortisol, giving it a stronger pharmacodynamic footprint and a rougher endocrine side-effect profile. |
| Dosing notes | Human endocrine dose-ranging data support 0.5-2 mcg/kg IV bolus testing. Pediatric studies cited in the literature used 2 mcg/kg IV for stimulation testing or 60 mcg/kg intranasally three times daily in chronic growth studies. The pediatric intranasal data are not an approved maintenance regimen but are among the clearest long-term human exposure examples. |
| Storage | No reliable compound-specific storage or reconstitution statement was retrieved from regulator documents or manufacturer datasheets in the sources reviewed. |
