What is Semax?
Semax is a synthetic peptide based on a fragment of ACTH, a hormone the body makes, called ACTH(4-10); it differs from that fragment in three amino acids. It is a registered drug in Russia, sold there as 0.1% and 1% nasal drops, and Russian researchers have studied it for stroke. Elsewhere, people ask about it most for focus and memory.
Semax is not FDA-approved. This is educational, not medical advice; results vary and are not guaranteed. See the important information at the end of this page.

Send a visit request, and a provider will look at your focus and health and tell you whether Semax fits.
Focus has many causes
Focus can slip because of sleep, stress, mood, ADHD or a medical issue. Your provider looks at the whole picture first, then builds a plan where Semax is one part, if it fits. If ADHD might be part of it, our adult ADHD evaluation looks at that properly.

Semax benefits
People use Semax to support focus, memory and mental clarity. It is a registered medicine in Russia, where researchers have studied it for stroke, and rat studies found it raises BDNF, a protein that helps brain cells grow and connect, and supports memory. Research in people outside Russia is limited, so your provider tells you what to realistically expect.
How does Semax work?
Semax is based on a fragment of ACTH, a hormone the body makes, changed so it does not act on the adrenal glands the way ACTH does. Rat studies suggest it raises brain growth factors such as BDNF, and mouse studies show it can affect dopamine, a brain chemical involved in attention.
How is Semax taken?
As a nasal spray, as your provider prescribes. In Russia it is sold as nasal drops. Your provider gives you instructions for your exact prescription, and you never change the amount or schedule yourself.
Semax for focus: what to know first
Trouble focusing has many causes, including ADHD, poor sleep, stress, depression and medical conditions, and each has its own answer. If ADHD might be part of it, our adult ADHD evaluation looks at that properly. Your provider sorts out the cause before adding a peptide.
Semax side effects and safety
Its safety in people is not well studied outside Russia. In mice, Semax increased amphetamine-driven dopamine release, a pattern FDA links to drugs of abuse. That is why your provider reviews your mental health and every medication you take first, and why you report changes in mood or sleep right away.
Is Semax FDA-approved?
No, not in the United States. Semax is a registered drug in Russia, but it is not FDA-approved for any use here. Your prescription is compounded for you by a state-licensed pharmacy; FDA does not review compounded drugs before they reach patients.
Can I get Semax legally?
Yes, with a prescription. Under a 2026 federal policy, state-licensed pharmacies can compound Semax for an individual patient's prescription. The route we offer is a visit with a licensed provider and, if Semax fits, a prescription filled by one of those pharmacies.

Important information
Semax is not FDA-approved for any use. It is prescribed only after a visit with a licensed provider, and compounded for that patient by a state-licensed pharmacy. Compounded drugs are not reviewed by FDA for safety, effectiveness or quality before they reach patients. Pharmacies may compound Semax under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' enforcement discretion policy of October 30, 2026; that policy is not an FDA approval, and HHS may revisit it if a safety or quality problem arises. Semax is registered as a drug in Russia, not in the United States. FDA's July 2026 review found the human safety information insufficient, and noted that in mice Semax increased amphetamine-driven dopamine release, a response FDA describes as typical of drugs of abuse.
