These numbers are a starting point — change any of them.
- Concentration
- 2.5mg/mL
- Volume per draw
- 2mL
- Units to dial
- 200
- Doses per cartridge
- 1
This is 200 units, past the 60-unit dial. Splitting it across administrations, or using less water to raise the concentration, brings it back into range.
Dial range varies by pen; 1–60 units is the common configuration.

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.
