Non-FDA Peptide Liability

Meaning

Non-FDA Peptide Liability refers to the significant legal and professional risk assumed by practitioners and compounding pharmacies involved in the prescribing, preparation, and distribution of peptide therapeutics that lack formal Food and Drug Administration or FDA approval for clinical use. This liability stems from the fact that many peptides are classified for research use only or compounded without meeting the rigorous standards required for a new drug application. The potential consequences include patient harm from unproven or contaminated substances, regulatory fines, and medical license sanctions for practicing outside established standards of care.
