How to Administer Selank
Selank is a synthetic peptide derived from tuftsin, administered intranasally. Like Semax, it is NOT injected. The intranasal route provides direct access to the central nervous system for its anxiolytic and nootropic effects.
Recommended Injection Sites
Nasal Mucosa
PrimarySelank is administered as an intranasal spray, not by injection.
Injection Technique
Wash Hands
Wash hands with soap and water for 20+ seconds.
Prepare the Spray
If using a pre-mixed nasal spray, prime the pump if first use (2-3 pumps into air). If reconstituting, follow the manufacturer instructions for the nasal delivery device.
Clear the Nasal Passage
Gently blow your nose to clear the nasal passages. This ensures better absorption of the peptide through the nasal mucosa.
Administer the Spray
Tilt your head slightly forward. Insert the nozzle into one nostril, aiming slightly outward (toward the ear). Press the pump while inhaling gently through the nose.
Alternate Nostrils
If multiple sprays are needed, alternate between nostrils. Avoid sniffing hard or blowing your nose for 10-15 minutes after administration.
Timing & Frequency
Typically administered 1-3 times daily. Morning and afternoon dosing is common.
1-3 times daily per protocol.
Site Rotation
Alternate nostrils with each administration to reduce mucosal irritation.
Local vs Systemic Effects
Selank is absorbed through the nasal mucosa for systemic distribution. The intranasal route provides rapid absorption and avoids first-pass liver metabolism.
Warnings & Precautions
- !Selank is not FDA-approved.
- !Intranasal only—do not inject.
- !Clear nasal passages before use for optimal absorption.
- !Refrigerate after opening.
