Standard Dosage Range

Research dosing range: Varies significantly by indication and formulation

Educational reference only

These dosage ranges are derived from preclinical research and community protocols. No human clinical dose-ranging trials have established therapeutic doses for most research peptides. Always consult a qualified healthcare provider before starting any peptide protocol.

Dosage by Use Case

Prostate Cancer (Advanced)

500 mcg (SC) 3× daily; or 150 mcg (nasal) 6× dailyAs directed by physician
Duration

Long-term (months to years)

Subcutaneous injection or nasal spray. Monitor testosterone levels. May require antiandrogen co-administration initially to mitigate flare.

Endometriosis

300 mcg (SC) 3× daily; or 150 mcg (nasal) 3-4× dailyAs directed by physician
Duration

3-6 months

Subcutaneous injection or nasal spray. Monitor estradiol levels. Bone density scans may be recommended for longer durations of treatment.

IVF (Long Protocol)

500 mcg (SC) dailyDaily, starting mid-luteal phase
Duration

Until HCG administration

Subcutaneous injection. Used to suppress ovulation and prevent premature LH surge. Dosage and timing are crucial and managed by a fertility specialist.

Timing & Frequency

For prostate cancer and endometriosis, doses are typically spaced evenly throughout the day. For IVF, dosing starts during the mid-luteal phase and continues until HCG administration.

Cycle Guidance

For prostate cancer, buserelin is often used long-term. For endometriosis, cycles are typically limited to 3-6 months. For IVF, the duration is dictated by the IVF protocol.
