Cortexin is a peptide-based nootropic medication intended for intramuscular or intravenous administration. The product is supplied as a lyophilized powder for preparation of an injectable solution and is commonly used in neurological practice to support central nervous system function.

The medication contains a complex of low-molecular-weight polypeptide fractions derived from cerebral cortex tissue. Cortexin is used as part of comprehensive therapy for various neurological conditions in both adults and children.

Cortexin is widely utilized in clinical neurological practice due to its injectable dosage form and use in rehabilitation programs.
