human placental extract

Melsmon is a pharmaceutical-grade human placental extract primarily used for the treatment of menopausal syndrome and climacteric symptoms. It is a complex biologic containing amino acids, peptides, vitamins, and minerals. The drug is thought to alleviate symptoms such as hot flashes, insomnia, and fatigue by modulating the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and exerting anti-inflammatory effects through the suppression of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Melsmon has been approved in several countries, including Japan and South Korea, for menopausal disorders and is administered via subcutaneous or intramuscular injection. Recent research also suggests potential therapeutic benefits in stress-induced neuroinflammation and depression.
