Serostim's dosage is typically decided by a healthcare provider, and it depends on the patient's body weight and the specific condition it is being used to treat. For the treatment of HIV-associated wasting or cachexia, the recommended dose of Serostim is generally 0.1 mg/kg of body weight per day, given through subcutaneous (below the skin) injection.

Also, this daily dose should not exceed 6 mg total. For instance, if a patient weighs 70 kg, their daily dose would be 7 mg, but as the maximum allowable dose is 6 mg, they would only be prescribed 6 mg.
This treatment is usually administered for 12 weeks. After this period, the need for further treatment should be evaluated by the healthcare provider.
Please note that all medication plans should be approved by a healthcare provider who has taken the patient's comprehensive medical history into account, and medication should always be taken exactly as prescribed.Details
