Administration
Cerebrolysin comes as a pre-made injectable solution — no reconstitution required. IV doses above 10 mL should be diluted in physiological saline (0.9% NaCl) and infused over 15–60 minutes. IM doses up to 5 mL can be injected directly.
Timing & Cycles
Treatment courses typically last 10–30 days. For chronic conditions (dementia, cognitive decline), repeated courses of 20–30 days with 2–4 week breaks between courses are used. Administer in the morning for cognitive indications.
