Sermorelin is normally given by an injection. However, our pharmacy can compound it into tablets and solutions that can go under the tongue, or into a lozenge-like formulation called a troche.

Sermorelin troches are custom compounded based on your individual dose and flavor preference. They are compounded in a special troche base that delivers the medication to be absorbed through your gums.
