The regulatory direction on compounded peptides has been toward tighter controls. If you’re told a peptide is available “through compounding”, that pathway is narrower than it used to be.
Compounding is the preparation of a medicine for an individual patient against a prescription. It has never been a mechanism for mass-supplying unapproved products, and the rules around certain compounded peptides have been progressively tightened.
For consumers, the practical takeaway is simple: “we compound it” is not the same as “it’s approved”. A legitimate prescriber can explain exactly which lawful pathway applies to your situation.
Always confirm the current position directly with the TGA, as compounding rules can change.
