The agency overseeing medicines in the US is called the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Making medicine to suit a patient is called compounding; a pharmacist or doctor prepares it, as the FDA explains.
Medicines made this way are not FDA-approved (September 26, 2026). Before sale, these medicines receive no FDA review of quality, of safety or of whether they work.
A medicine made to order can still be legal; the FDA says it may meet a patient’s need that an approved drug cannot meet.
BPC-157 is the name of one peptide sold online; FDA drug records showed no approved US medicine containing it on September 26, 2026.
If someone offers this peptide to help you recover, ask them to name the problem being treated and explain the evidence for that choice.
A valid prescription means someone legally allowed to prescribe has ordered the medicine for you.
A prescription does not give a medicine made to order FDA approval.
An advert tells you what a service is selling; a price tells you what it charges. Ask who will check whether the exact medicine may legally be supplied to you.
