federal

United States federal

U.S. federal peptide regulation is split among FDA approval, compounding exemptions under FD&C Act sections 503A and 503B, drug-shortage authorities, enforcement discretion, and (for sport) WADA rules.

Federal law preempts certain state requirements for approved drugs but leaves much compounding oversight to state boards of pharmacy. This page covers FDA, DEA, FTC, and WADA sport-rule status only.
