Ipamorelin

Selective ghrelin receptor agonist (GH-secretagogue).

What it does

What Ipamorelin is and why doctors prescribe it.

Ipamorelin is a selective ghrelin receptor agonist (GHS-R) that stimulates GH release with minimal effect on cortisol or prolactin. It's often discussed in combination with CJC-1295 because the two work through complementary GH-release pathways. Under FDA review.

How it works

Mechanism in plain English.

Ghrelin is the GH-releasing peptide produced primarily in the stomach. Its receptor (GHS-R) on the pituitary stimulates GH release through a pathway distinct from GHRH. Ipamorelin selectively activates GHS-R without binding the related receptors that produce cortisol or prolactin elevation seen with non-selective ghrelin mimetics.

How long it's been studied

Research history.

Ipamorelin was developed in the 1990s. Pharmacokinetic and GH-release studies have characterized its profile. Cannot currently be compounded under 503A.

Dosing

Clinical context for the prescribing doctor.

Pending regulatory clarity. RonanRx cannot compound ipamorelin until it receives 503A-permissible status.

This page is informational, not a dispensing aid. Ipamorelin is dispensed only on a patient-specific prescription written by a licensed doctor for an identified patient. Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved and should not be evaluated using branded-drug trial data. Availability varies by state and prescribed medication.

How to access Ipamorelin through RonanRx

Three paths.

Ipamorelin is currently in Category 2 and not available for 503A compounding. RonanRx is tracking the FDA review and will notify partner clinics when the decision allows compounding access.
