# Questions to ask a peptide clinic

Answer three short questions and get a checklist of what to ask a peptide clinic before you book — about its licence, its prescribers, the pharmacy that dispenses, and its prices.

Use the tool on the [web page](https://peptideclinic.fyi/tools/questions-to-ask-a-peptide-clinic). It works without JavaScript.

## How to use it

1. Choose what kind of provider is it?.
2. Choose how will you be seen?.
3. Choose how do you plan to pay?.
4. Read the result.

## How it works

The checklist asks only about licences, supply chain, process and price — never about symptoms, dosing or outcomes, because this site is a directory, not medical advice.

The licence checks it names are public: state medical and pharmacy board lookups, the FDA registered outsourcing facilities list, and the free CMS NPI registry.

FDA rules on which bulk substances a compounding pharmacy may use under sections 503A and 503B are in flux; the checklist sends you to the FDA bulk-substances page rather than repeating a status that can go stale.

Nothing you answer is stored or sent anywhere. The three choices only decide which static checklist items are shown.

> This checklist is general guidance for checking a provider, not medical advice. Confirm licences on the named registers and ask a licensed clinician about treatment.

## Questions

### What is a 503A pharmacy versus a 503B outsourcing facility?

A 503A pharmacy is a state-licensed pharmacy that compounds for individual prescriptions. A 503B outsourcing facility registers with the FDA and may compound larger batches under federal standards. The FDA publishes the 503B register; state boards publish pharmacy licences.

### Why does this checklist not ask about my symptoms?

This site is a directory, not a medical service. It helps you check a provider's licence and pricing. Questions about your health belong with the licensed clinician you choose.

### A clinic will not answer the licence questions. What now?

Treat that as an answer. A licensed provider can name its licence and its pharmacy in one phone call. If it cannot, pick another provider from the directory.

> **Not medical advice.** Regulatory status, checked 2026-10-20: FDA rules on the bulk substances a compounding pharmacy may use are in flux. A February 2026 HHS announcement moved about 14 peptides back toward the FDA Category 1 list, and sources disagree on the final status — check the FDA bulk-substances page (https://www.fda.gov/drugs/human-drug-compounding/bulk-drug-substances-used-compounding) before you act. PeptideClinic is a directory, not a clinic or a pharmacy: a listing is a record, never an endorsement. It gives no dosing, no medical advice and no outcome claims, and it never lists research-chemical sellers. Confirm a provider's licence on the named state board, the FDA 503B register or the NPI registry before you book. In an emergency call 911.
