Selank

What is common, what is less so, and what to do if something is out of the ordinary.

What most people notice

A small injection-site reaction that clears on its own.

Mild fatigue or a feeling of detachment can appear in the first few days.

What can also happen

A mild headache.
Mild nausea.
Brief dizziness.
More rarely, a somewhat flat mood.

To reduce these effects

Give the injection at a regular time.
Avoid alcohol on the day of the injection.
Change the injection site every time.
Do not raise the dose on your own.

When to talk to a professional

With this product, especially if you notice:

Significant drowsiness or unusual confusion.
Low mood that sets in.
A reaction that lasts after stopping the product.

If a symptom is severe, lingers or worries you, stop the product and talk to a healthcare professional. An immediate reaction after the injection, such as trouble breathing or swelling of the face, needs medical care right away.

Specific to this product

It is not recommended during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
If you take medication for anxiety or depression, or if you live with a significant psychiatric condition, talk to your doctor first.
