Use this for the difference between an approved finished medicine and medicine that a pharmacy or physician prepares to order, known as compounded medicine.
Read the FDA pageUse this for what the FDA does not review before a made-to-order drug is sold.
Read the FDA pageThis “model policy” is an example for state medical boards, not a law by itself. Use it to learn about clinician licences, questions asked before an online visit, follow-up and the quality of care required.
Read the FSMB policyUse this advice from the Federation of State Medical Boards (the umbrella body for every state’s medical board) for its view of treatment menus, care sold directly to patients and patient questions.
Read the FSMB adviceUse this map to reach the official pharmacy licence search for a state.

Open the FDA listUse this page of federal law for the rule that a prescription drug may be given out only with a valid prescription.
Read the federal lawUse this for warning signs when a seller limits payment to methods that are hard to reverse.
Read the FTC alertHow to read the record
A licence confirms a current public record. Registration shows that a person or facility completed a registration step. FDA approval belongs to a specific finished product and use.
A current page can still describe an older policy or collection of records. Copy the two labels shown: one attached to the source material and another attached to the web page.
A federal rule may not settle a state question. A sample policy from a medical-board group may guide states without being the law in every state.
A broad word like “peptide,” meaning a small chain made from the same building pieces the body uses to make proteins, cannot tell you whether a finished product is approved, made to order or unapproved.
A warning letter records what an agency says may be wrong and why. It is not the same as a court judgment, but it is a reason to pause and check the seller.
