What is

Semax

Both Selank and Semax are melanocortins and have pleiotropic effects involved in brain health and function. Selank by itself has traditionally been prescribed for anxiety and depression. Selank has pronounced anxiolytic activity and acts as a stable neuropsychotropic, antidepressant, and anti-stress medication. Semax is used as a therapeutic for patients with pathologies related to brain circulation dysfunction. As a combination, Selank/Semax has applications in improving learning processes, exploratory behavior, regeneration and development, nociceptive and in ammatory processes, accelerate nerve regeneration and improve neuromuscular performance and overall neural health.

Benefits

  • Improves mental clarity, memory, and focus
  • Improved health and lifespan Reduces anxiety and depression

Protocols

Provided as a 750 mcg/spray (0.1 ml) nasal spray

    • Initiation:: Semax therapy is initiated to support cognitive function, neuroprotection, and overall brain health by modulating neurotrophic factors and neurotransmitters.

Initial Dose: Begin with 1 spray (750 mcg) in each nostril once daily during the daytime for the first two weeks to assess tolerance and minimize potential side effects.

  • Titration: If well tolerated, increase the dose to 1 spray (750 mcg) in each nostril twice daily during the daytime after the initial two-week period.
  • Maintenance: Maintain the dose at 1 spray (750 mcg) in each nostril 1-2 times daily for ongoing support in cognitive function and neuroprotection.
  • Duration: Semax is administered daily.

 

  • Weeks 1-2: 1 spray (750 mcg) in each nostril once daily during the daytime
  • Week 3 and onwards: 1 spray (750 mcg) in each nostril 1-2 times daily during the daytime

*Provided as a standard protocol, dose may vary depending on the condition of the patient.
*The dosage of Semax may be adjusted based on the individual’s response, medical history, and specific treatment goals.

  • Regular monitoring of cognitive function and overall brain health to assess the effectiveness of the treatment.
  • Periodic assessments to check for any adverse effects and to adjust the treatment as necessary.
  • Consultation with a healthcare professional before starting Semax to ensure it is appropriate for the patient’s health condition.
  • Patients should maintain a healthy lifestyle, including proper diet and exercise, to support the effectiveness of the treatment.

  • Regular monitoring of cognitive function and overall brain health to assess the effectiveness of the treatment.
  • Periodic assessments to check for any adverse effects and to adjust the treatment as necessary.
  • Consultation with a healthcare professional before starting Semax to ensure it is appropriate for the patient’s health condition.
  • Patients should maintain a healthy lifestyle, including proper diet and exercise, to support the effectiveness of the treatment.

Procedure

  • Shake the nasal spray bottle gently before use.
  • Remove the cap from the nasal spray bottle.
  • Insert the nozzle into one nostril and close the other nostril with a finger.
  • Press down on the pump to release 1 spray (750 mcg) while inhaling gently through the nose.
  • Repeat the process for the other nostril.
  • Administer the spray 1-2 times daily as prescribed.
  • Do not exceed the recommended dosage unless advised by a healthcare provider.

  • Store the nasal spray bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
  • Ensure the bottle is tightly sealed to maintain the integrity of the solution.
  • Keep out of reach of children.
  • Monitor for any unusual symptoms and report them to a healthcare provider immediately.

Clinical Research

Study:

Semax Nasal Peptide for Cognitive Enhancement and Neuroprotection

Source:

Peptides.org, Cochrane Handbook, Wikipedia

Results:

Semax, a synthetic peptide derived from the adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) fragment, has been extensively studied for its cognitive-enhancing and neuroprotective properties. Administered primarily as a nasal spray, Semax is recognized for its ability to penetrate the blood-brain barrier efficiently.

Semax influences several neurotransmitter systems, including dopaminergic and serotonergic pathways, and upregulates brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). These actions are crucial for enhancing cognitive functions, such as memory, focus, and learning, as well as providing neuroprotection. The peptide’s modulation of these pathways helps in maintaining and improving brain function under various conditions, including stress and ischemia​

Semax has undergone several clinical trials, primarily in Russia, demonstrating its efficacy and safety. These trials have involved diverse populations, including healthy individuals, stroke patients, and those with cognitive impairments. The findings consistently indicate that Semax is effective in enhancing cognitive function and providing neuroprotective benefits without significant side effects.

Analgesic action of the new drug Semax

Intranasal administration of the new regulatory peptide Semax (0.5 mg/kg) relieves migraine headache and pain caused by dental plexalgia. The analgesic effect of Semax is due to spasmolytic and general regulatory activities but not to its influence on pain sensitivity system.

Semax as a Universal Drug for Therapy and Research

In this review, based on published experimental and clinical data (1980‒2016), a comparative analysis of the structures and effects of Semax (peptide drug) and its analogue fragments was carried out. The effect of these oligopeptides on various body systems is examined.
