The FDA is reviewing seven unapproved peptides to decide whether compounding pharmacies can legally fill prescriptions for them, reversing a Biden-era decision that blocked nearly 20 peptides from compounding. The shift comes amid soaring demand for unproven peptides marketed online for anti-aging and muscle growth, with regulators now facing pressure to legalise supply through licensed doctors rather than the grey market.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
