Peptides by Prescription: What the New FDA Policy Changes
Carlsbad – October 29, 2026 -- Men in the US can now get certain peptides through state-licensed compounding pharmacies with a prescription, and Gameday Men's Health says it offers peptide therapy at 430 locations nationwide, subject to state law and pharmacy availability.
FDA interim policy moves peptides into licensed pharmacies
Under the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's new interim policy, state-licensed compounding pharmacies can prepare certain peptides with a prescription. Until now, many men have bought peptides online as "research chemicals," often made overseas, with no prescription and no medical oversight.
Gameday Chief Medical Officer Dr. Haleem Mohammed said the policy gives men "a safer option." He added that every prescription should start with a real medical evaluation and come from a licensed pharmacy.
