Questions to answer before adding peptide services.

Before you launch

  1. Medical oversight: who is the licensed prescriber, and how are patients evaluated?
  2. Sourcing: are products FDA-approved, or compounded by a properly licensed pharmacy for individual patients?
  3. State rules: what do your state's medical and pharmacy boards require for delegation and supervision?
  4. Marketing: are your claims consistent with FDA and FTC rules? Disease and weight-loss claims draw scrutiny.
  5. Records and follow-up: how will you document, monitor, and handle adverse events?
FDA has issued warning letters to sellers marketing unapproved peptides, including those labeled "for research use only" while promoting human use. A label is not a loophole.
