Common questions.
Compounded specialty prescriptions begin with an intake and provider review. Availability and eligibility depend on the specific treatment and your individual circumstances.
Full safety informationWhat are peptides and biologics?
Peptides and biologic medicines are broad categories of therapies that interact with specific biological pathways. Their uses, evidence, safety profiles, and regulatory status vary significantly between individual products.
Does submitting an intake guarantee that I will receive a prescription?
No. Completing an intake does not guarantee treatment. A licensed provider reviews your information and determines whether a particular medication is medically appropriate.
Why might a compounded specialty medication be prescribed?
Compounding can allow a pharmacy to prepare a specific formulation for an individual patient based on a valid prescription. The prescribing provider determines whether a compounded medication is appropriate.
Are all treatments available in every state?
No. Availability may vary based on provider licensing, pharmacy capabilities, medication availability, compounding requirements, and applicable state and federal law.
Are compounded peptide medications FDA approved?
Compounded medications are not FDA approved and do not undergo the FDA premarket approval process used for FDA-approved drugs. Regulatory status varies by ingredient and product, and not every substance can legally be compounded or prescribed.
What is a compounded medication?
A compounded medication is prepared by a compounding pharmacy based on a prescription for an individual patient. The formulation may differ in strength, dosage form, or combination of ingredients from commercially manufactured medications.
Will I need laboratory testing?
It depends on the medication, your medical history, and the provider’s clinical judgment. Certain treatments may require laboratory testing, follow-up evaluation, or ongoing monitoring.
Who determines whether I am eligible for treatment?
The licensed provider reviewing your intake determines whether a medication is clinically appropriate. Pharmacy and state-specific availability may also affect whether a particular formulation can be dispensed.
When does a prescription ship?
Medication is not sent for fulfillment until a licensed provider completes the required review and issues a prescription. The dispensing pharmacy must then process and prepare the prescription. Processing and shipping times vary.
What if a treatment is not appropriate for me?
The provider may decline to prescribe it, recommend another treatment, request additional information or testing, or advise you to seek in-person care.
