Questions for care
Get the name before the sales pitch
Amino acids are the pieces used to build proteins; linking a small number makes the chain known as a peptide. A peptide name, on its own, cannot tell you whether using it is safe or legal.
Write down the drug’s name and the health concern it would address.
Real medicines, different rules
Drug review in the US sits with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
In the September 2026 US record, approved drugs include semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy). Tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound) also has US approvals in that record.
A pharmacist or doctor can mix or change ingredients to make a medicine for a patient; this is called compounding. These medicines have no FDA approval, including under the rules checked in September 2026.
