Not approvedNo NMPA approval found for sermorelin; it cannot lawfully be sold as a medicine in China and is banned in sport.

Not approved as a medicine here.

We found no NMPA approval for sermorelin. CDE's public register has no record under its international name; under its Chinese name (舍莫瑞林) it shows only new-drug filings from 2002 and a supplementary filing from 2005 by a Hainan research institute, with no later activity. Producing or importing a drug without an approval document is prohibited by Article 98 of the Drug Administration Law. The WADA Prohibited List names sermorelin among banned growth-hormone-releasing factors for athletes.
