Peptides & longevity · FAQ
Who should avoid peptides & longevity treatments or get extra medical review?
Short answer
Do not use a peptides & longevity product if you have a known allergy to its ingredients. Pregnancy, breastfeeding, cancer history, and major medical conditions need careful review. Safety information is limited for several uses. A licensed physician in your state decides whether a specific prescription is appropriate.
There is no one avoid-use list that fits every product in this category. Do not use a product if you have a known allergy to an active ingredient or another ingredient in its formula. Give your physician a full list of past drug reactions, including reactions to injectable products.
Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and plans to become pregnant require careful review because safety data may be limited. Children and teens also need a separate assessment; adult wellness treatment should not be assumed appropriate for them. Tell your physician about cancer, pituitary disorders, diabetes, and heart, liver, or kidney disease. These details are especially important when considering a product that affects hormone signaling, such as Sermorelin.
An existing condition does not create the same risk with every product. A licensed physician in your state must weigh your situation and the exact formulation. Do not start treatment using someone else's prescription. If you have a new or unexplained symptom, get it evaluated rather than using a wellness product to cover it up.
