Where to get prescribed peptides in the US
Since October 30, 2026, US pharmacies can make six peptides for patients with a prescription. Here is who fills them, what they cost, and what to check before you pay.
The short answer
You need a prescription from a licensed prescriber. A state-licensed 503A compounding pharmacy then makes the peptide for you. Most people get the prescription from an online clinic, which sends it to a partner pharmacy.
We checked 250 US sellers on October 30, 2026 and rank 174. The top score is 35 out of 100, held by Rx Peps Direct. See the full ranking.
No seller scores high yet. The main reason: none of the 174 ranked sellers names the maker of the peptide ingredient, and the policy needs that maker to be registered with FDA. A low score means missing proof, not wrongdoing.
What changed on October 30, 2026
HHS published a policy called Enforcement Discretion Policy Regarding 503A Compounding Using Certain Peptide Bulk Drug Substances in the Federal Register on October 30, 2026. It says HHS will not take action against a state-licensed pharmacy, a federal facility or a licensed doctor that compounds one of six peptides, if 10 conditions are met. Comments on docket HHS-OASH-2026-0496 are accepted until about November 13, 2026 (two weeks after publication); check the docket for the exact closing date.
Three things the policy does not do:
- It does not make these peptides FDA-approved. Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved.
- It is not binding. HHS may change or withdraw it, for example if a safety or quality problem shows up.
- It does not cover blends, other peptides, 503B outsourcing facilities or sales without a prescription. State law still applies.
Sources: Federal Register 2026-22192, HHS policy text (archived copy), docket on regulations.gov. All 10 conditions in plain words are on our method page. Our guide Are peptides legal in the US? explains what the law allows and what it does not.
Which peptides you can get, and in what form
Each peptide is covered only in the forms HHS lists. A product in another form is outside the policy.
| Peptide | Covered forms | Ranked sellers |
|---|---|---|
| BPC-157 | Injection under the skin or into muscle, oral, or topical. | 164 |
| TB-500 | Injection under the skin or into muscle only. | 98 |
| Epitalon | Injection under the skin or into muscle, given in short courses, not continuously. | 54 |
| MOTS-c | Injection under the skin or into muscle only. | 73 |
| Semax | Nasal use only. | 59 |
| KPV | Topical or oral only. Not injection. | 45 |
Oral forms are covered only if the pharmacy keeps proof that the formula is absorbed well enough in people.
Three ways to get a prescription
An online clinic
You fill in a medical form, and sometimes have a video call. A licensed prescriber decides. If they say yes, the prescription goes to a partner pharmacy, which ships to you. This is the most common route: 153 of the 174 ranked sellers are online or local clinics. Many serve only some states, so check yours first.
A local clinic
Some clinics in our list see patients in person only, in one state. The clinic writes the prescription and a pharmacy fills it. Each seller page shows the states it serves.
Your own doctor
Your doctor can write a prescription to a state-licensed 503A compounding pharmacy that can ship to your state. Ask the pharmacy for its license number and look it up on your state board of pharmacy. 0 of the sellers we rank are pharmacies.

Check these before you pay
These are the checks that matter most in our score. You can do most of them yourself in a few minutes.
- A medical step comes before payment. A prescriber should review you before you can pay for the peptide. A site that takes your card first is a warning sign.
- The pharmacy is named and licensed. Ask which pharmacy fills the order and check its license on the state board. We could confirm a license for 4 of the 174 ranked sellers.
- One peptide per product. Blends are outside the policy. Only 99 of the 174 ranked sellers list no blends.
- No “research use only” wording. A product sold for research is not a prescription product.
- A test certificate for each lot. The policy asks for identity, purity, potency, endotoxin, heavy metal and microbe tests on the ingredient. 2 of the 174 ranked sellers publish lot results or send them on request.
- The label. The policy label says “This is a compounded drug product. Not for resale.”
- Your state. The seller and its pharmacy must be able to serve the state you live in. See who serves your state.
Each seller page shows which of these we could confirm, with the source and the date. How we score.
What to avoid
We found 11 US sellers of covered peptides with no prescription check. They label products for research use, or take payment before any medical question. The HHS policy does not cover them. See the list and the evidence.
Questions
Is BPC-157 legal in the US now?
In a policy published on October 30, 2026, HHS said it will not act against a state-licensed pharmacy or a licensed doctor that compounds BPC-157 for a named patient with a prescription, if 10 conditions are met. This is enforcement discretion, not FDA approval, and HHS can change it. Sales without a prescription are not covered.
Can a doctor prescribe BPC-157?
Yes. A licensed prescriber can write a prescription for a named patient, and a state-licensed 503A compounding pharmacy can fill it under the HHS policy. Your doctor decides whether it is right for you.
Can I get peptides prescribed online?
Yes. 153 of the 174 sellers we rank are telehealth services or clinics. You fill in a medical form, a prescriber reviews it, and a partner pharmacy ships to you. Many serve only some states, so check yours first.
Which peptides does the policy cover?
Six: BPC-157, TB-500, Epitalon, MOTS-c, Semax, KPV. Each one is covered only in the forms HHS lists, for example Semax only as a nasal product and TB-500 only as an injection.
Are blends like BPC-157 with TB-500 covered?
No. The policy covers one peptide per product. 75 of the 174 sellers we rank still list blends, so we take 10 points off their score and cap it.
Is a compounded peptide FDA-approved?
No. HHS itself says compounded drugs are not FDA-approved. FDA does not review their safety, effectiveness or quality before they are sold.
How much do prescribed peptides cost?
For BPC-157, ranked sellers charge $75 to $445 a month, for the 10 of 21 that post a price and sell by the month. We leave out blend prices and never mix a monthly price with a price per vial. Ask what the price covers before you pay.
Does Peptide Scanner sell peptides or take money from these sellers?
No. We do not sell peptides and no seller pays to be listed or to rank.
