Frequently asked questions
Is this a pharmacy?
No. This is an informational directory of drugs and licensed telehealth providers. It does not sell medication, dispense prescriptions, or provide medical care. Any therapy requires evaluation by a licensed provider.
How are prices verified?
Every sticker price is taken from a provider's own public pages and shown with the date it was last checked and a link to the source. Prices change without notice, so treat older dates as a starting point.
What does the headline price include?
The figure we compare is the total cost of a standard 3-month protocol, not just the medication. We average each provider's own cost to three months, then add any one-time consult or provider-review fee and three months of any membership. Providers who sell only by the vial are estimated at about one vial per month and marked 'est.', and where a provider does not publish a fee we fold in what is known and flag that other fees may apply.
Why are some prices missing?
When a provider sells a drug but does not post a price publicly, the table says 'pricing not published' rather than guessing. We never invent a number.
Do you list sellers of 'research use only' peptides?
No. Only providers that dispense through a licensed pharmacy with a prescription are listed. Products sold as 'research use only' without a prescription involve no pharmacy or clinician and are not verified for identity or purity, so they are excluded.
What is the difference between 503A and 503B?
A 503A compounding pharmacy prepares medication for an individual patient under a prescription. A 503B outsourcing facility is FDA-registered and compounds larger batches under federal oversight. Both dispense with a prescription. The sourcing model is shown next to each provider.
Why is a drug listed if it is investigational?
People search for these compounds, so the directory documents them with a neutral, cited overview and an accurate regulatory status. Listing a drug is not an endorsement. Where a compound cannot be legally compounded, such as retatrutide, the monograph states that plainly.
