Capromorelin Dosage

Research-based dosing protocols, timing guidance, and reconstitution reference for Capromorelin. All information is for educational purposes only.

Quick Answer

Capromorelin is typically administered orally. In veterinary medicine (Entyce for dogs), dosages range from 3 mg/kg once daily. Human studies exploring appetite stimulation or growth hormone release have used dosages ranging from 10 mg to 60 mg daily. There are no established human clinical dose-ranging trials to guide off-label usage.

Standard Dosage Range

Research dosing range: 3 mg/kg (dogs, veterinary); 10–60 mg daily (human research)

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

Appetite Stimulation (Dogs)

3 mg/kg1× daily
Duration

Variable, as needed

Approved veterinary use (Entyce). Administer orally. Monitor food intake and adjust dose as needed under veterinary supervision.

Appetite Stimulation (Human, Off-label)

10–30 mg1× daily
Duration

4–12 weeks

Off-label use only. Based on limited human trial data. Start at the lower end of the range and titrate up as tolerated. Monitor for side effects.

Growth Hormone Release (Human Research)

30–60 mg1× daily
Duration

4–12 weeks

Research purposes only. Higher end of the dosage range. Monitor for hyperglycemia and other potential GH-related side effects.

Timing & Frequency

Administer orally, typically once daily. For appetite stimulation, dosing 30-60 minutes prior to a meal may be beneficial. Absorption may be influenced by food intake; administer on an empty stomach for more consistent results.

Cycle Guidance

Due to limited long-term human safety data, cycling is advisable. A common approach is a 4-12 week cycle followed by a 4-week break. Monitor for any adverse effects and adjust cycle length accordingly.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the appropriate capromorelin dosage for appetite stimulation in humans?
There is no FDA-approved dosage for capromorelin in humans. Limited human studies have used dosages ranging from 10-30 mg daily for appetite stimulation. This is off-label use and should only be considered under the supervision of a qualified healthcare provider.
How should capromorelin be stored?
Store capromorelin according to the manufacturer’s instructions, typically at room temperature away from direct sunlight and moisture.
What are the potential side effects of capromorelin?
Common side effects reported in studies include diarrhea, vomiting, and increased thirst. Less common side effects include transient hyperglycemia. Consult a healthcare provider for a complete list of potential side effects.
