Active ingredients

Procaine hydrochloride 100 mg — one 5 ml ampoule, intramuscular injection

The dose is adjusted individually, based on the medical consultation. Every substance is pharmaceutical grade, given intravenously for higher bioavailability.

Gerovital H3 contains procaine hydrochloride, 100 mg in a 5 ml ampoule, and is a prescription medicine, not a supplement. The leaflet requires a procaine sensitivity test before treatment starts: a small amount is first given under the skin, and after 24 hours the test is repeated intramuscularly. A first-time patient cannot receive the injection on the same day. It is given strictly intramuscularly, only at the clinic, with an observation period afterwards. The intravenous route is contraindicated. Also contraindicated in hypersensitivity to procaine, severe low blood pressure, uncontrolled epilepsy, second- or third-degree atrioventricular block without a pacemaker, and alongside sulfonamides or acetylcholinesterase inhibitors. The leaflet provides for a course of three injections a week for four weeks; the schedule is set by the doctor.

Frequently asked questions

What does Gerovital H3 injection contain?

The active substance is procaine hydrochloride. One 5 ml ampoule contains 100 mg, together with the excipients in the formulation. It is the medicine developed from the work of Prof. Dr. Ana Aslan.

Do I need a prescription?

Yes. Gerovital H3 injection is a prescription-only medicine, not a supplement. It is given after the medical assessment at the clinic.

Why is a test needed beforehand?

Because an allergic reaction to procaine is the main risk, and the leaflet requires testing before treatment starts. It is done at a separate visit: first a small amount under the skin, and after 24 hours the test is repeated intramuscularly. A first-time patient cannot receive the injection on the same day.

Can Gerovital be given as a drip?

No. The leaflet provides for strictly intramuscular administration, and the intravenous route is listed under contraindications. We give the intramuscular injection only.

How long does a session take?

The injection itself takes a few minutes, plus the assessment beforehand and a short observation period afterwards. It is done at the clinic.

Is a single injection enough?

The leaflet describes a course of treatment, not a one-off injection: three times a week for four weeks, repeated a few times a year. The schedule and duration are set by the doctor, according to the indication.

How much does an ampoule of Gerovital H3 given at the clinic cost?

300 RON, with the medical assessment included. It is given only at the clinic in Bucharest.
