While the list is only guidance, not law, the FDA is trying to enforce this now on compounding pharmacies to limit what physicians can prescribe and what patients may receive to treat their conditions.

This includes medications which help with life threatening diseases such as ALS, resistant bacterial infections, addiction, and even viruses such as COVID19.

Some of these drugs have over 100+ clinical trials with demonstrated efficacy and safety. Yet, they can’t be used to help patients.

The FDA’s overreach becomes worse when you realize that they won’t let compounding pharmacies use products you can find on supplement shelves or in food products. Stevia is unable to be compounded when you can buy it by the kilogram from Walmart.

Most of the Peptides that are questioned have been nominated to that Bulk Drug Substance (503A) list but haven’t heard anything back.
