Met-Glu-His-Phe-Pro-Gly-ProWerkingsmechanisme
Carbetocin
Carbetocin is an oxytocin receptor agonist with prolonged duration. It triggers a sustained contraction of the uterus after birth, preventing atonic hemorrhage — unlike oxytocin, without a multi-hour infusion.
Semax
Semax is a tetracosactide fragment analog without hormonal activity at MC2R. Proposed mechanisms include elevation of BDNF and NGF in hippocampus and striatum (in animal models), modulation of dopamine metabolism, and neuroprotective effects via anti-apoptotic pathways. A clear primary receptor is not established.

Frequently asked questions
- What is the difference between Carbetocin and Semax?
- Carbetocin is classified as "Onderzoek (overig)", while Semax is classified as "Onderzoek (overig)". Carbetocin: Carbetocin is a long-acting synthetic oxytocin analog (half-life ~40 minutes). It prevents postpartum hemorrhage as a single injection. Approved in Canada and the UK among others, NOT in the US. Semax: Synthetic heptapeptide derived from the N-terminal fragment of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH 4-10). Approved in Russia for ischaemic stroke, cognitive function and ADHD in children. Western phase-3 trials absent. This page contrasts both neutrally and source-based — with no usage or dosing recommendation.
- Which peptide is better supported by science, Carbetocin or Semax?
- The highest available evidence level is "Humane RCT" for Carbetocin and "Humane studie" for Semax. A higher evidence level means more robust data, but says nothing about suitability for an individual. The full body of evidence is on each peptide's own page.
- What is the legal status of Carbetocin and Semax in Germany and the United States?
- Duitsland: Carbetocin — Op recept, Semax — Niet goedgekeurd. Verenigde Staten: Carbetocin — Niet goedgekeurd, Semax — Niet goedgekeurd. These are factual summaries with source and review date on the individual pages.
