Why an Australian doctor (not an offshore vendor)
- Offshore and research-use-only products cannot establish identity, sterility or safety. Australian import restrictions apply; discuss any previous use or suspected adverse effects with a registered doctor.
- A registered doctor can assess symptoms, medical history and interactions; an offshore seller cannot provide an individual clinical assessment.
- Compounding quality, sterility and dose accuracy are not regulated outside Australia's TGA-licensed pharmacies.
- Only an AHPRA-registered prescriber can diagnose, prescribe and monitor peptide therapy in Australia.

FAQ

What peptides are prescribed in Australia?
