Common questions
The questions everyone asks first.
Do I need a prescription for peptides?
Yes. The peptides discussed here are prescription-only. A physician licensed in your state reviews a medical intake and decides whether treatment is appropriate; a licensed pharmacy compounds it against that prescription. Sites selling vials labelled research use only are not operating under a prescription.
Are compounded peptides FDA approved?
No. FDA approval applies to manufactured drugs, not to medications compounded for an individual patient. Compounded medications are prepared by state-licensed, FDA-registered pharmacies pursuant to a valid prescription.
Does a consultation guarantee a prescription?
No. The reviewing physician may decide treatment is not appropriate, may ask for bloodwork first, or may recommend something different from what you expected.
How are peptides taken?
Most are a small subcutaneous injection using an insulin syringe, typically in the abdomen or outer thigh. Some are nasal sprays or capsules. Your physician's exact directions are printed on your medication.
Do I need bloodwork first?
For some medications yes, particularly those that act on the growth-hormone axis and GLP-1 medications. At-home collection kits cover hormone, metabolic and thyroid markers without a lab visit.
