What is the half-life of Cerebrolysin?

Cerebrolysin has a half-life of ~30 minutes (active metabolites persist longer), which is why it's typically administered 1x daily for 10-20 day cycles for optimal therapeutic effect.

How do I reconstitute Cerebrolysin?

Add bacteriostatic water to the peptide vial slowly down the side. Typical reconstitution uses 2-3ml of water for a 5mg vial. Gently swirl, do not shake.
