Published research contexts for Cortexin describe 5–10 mg per administration. Descriptive only, not a recommendation.
Like Cerebrolysin, a mixture of low-molecular-weight cortical polypeptides rather than a single molecule, so no single elimination half-life describes it and none is modelled.
Licensed as a medicine in Russia, where the lyophilised powder is reconstituted and given as an intramuscular injection. Like Cerebrolysin it is a mixture of low-molecular-weight cortical polypeptides rather than a single molecule, and no Western dose-ranging trial fixes a schedule, so no schedule table is shown.
Where these numbers come from
- Russian Cortexin neuropeptide literatureA bovine/porcine cortical polypeptide fraction; most evidence is Russian-language clinical and preclinical work, with no Western dose-ranging trial.
