RFK announces rescheduling of various peptides

I have seen headlines but haven't read anything yet. From that, it still sounds like maybe some, maybe all, but nothing is done yet.

It's happening dot gif?

Can't post the link or really say much else without the ai blocking my post, but this is very exciting. I wonder if this will affect our Chinese friends negatively?

Legalizing it is the first step for sure- cost however, a whole other battle.. I imagine gray will continue as is for some time.
 
Similar effect in MA. Even after marijuana was legalized for retail, the black market remained because the price and taxes were still too high. There are still people out there who will sell you pot in person in a parking lot, but not nearly as many as there used to. The market took several years to get everyone into legit dispensaries.

i read 14 of the 19 previously banned will go to and external panel for evaluation. 5 in July and 7 in Feb 2027. But 5+7 isn't 14, so 2 are missing lol

I can't tell if you're serious but in case you are, I tried to respond. Unfortunately the ridiculous content filter won't let me post and I couldn't figure out what triggered it. His behavior regarding ACIP is enough by itself to gain the label I used though.

There is a ton of information you can read that will show you that big med companies do not have our best interests in mind. We definitely don’t need to get into that debate, but that much is true.

And if he is so horrible, then why is he doing so many things, like this, in the name of health? Someone objectively horrible wouldn’t do anything helpful.
 
Can't write most of my post as the filter considers it prohibited content for some reason I can't figure out 🙁

I'm not very sure this is in the name of health at all. Let's see who ends up on the panel approving this and if peptides such as Melanotan 2 get "approved". I don't want to go back to pre-FDA snake oil and poison peddler days.

If we had way less pharma and way more of him we wouldn't have GLP-1 drugs or vaccines, both ofwhich I very much want.

What? He is a proponent for peps! He uses them

Peps are just drugs - why should they all automatically be available to everyone via compounding regardless of data on their safety and efficacy?

What are you talking about? Once rescheduled compounders will be able to make them again! You still need a script from a doctor.

Which is just like other drugs - so why don't peps need safety data at a minimum?

(efficacy? we can debate that but I'm very open to off-label use so much less concerned with demonstrated efficacy in this space than safety)

I don't know why peptide vs other forms of drugs should have a different panel approving them either.

Overall I'm very open to a process that evaluates drugs that have significant data, especially those already approved in other countries, without a sponsoring company pushing them through - this applies to a couple of the peps on the list, but not most. So, as I said above, let's see who ends up on this panel, and the safety justification for those that pass and get approved. It's still early.

I'm still unsure what your beef is? Where do you get your glp 1 and other peptides from now?
 
There should be two categories, FDA approved and not FDA approved. Label it such and let people make up their own minds. Not FDA approved would include all the crazy energy shots, supplements, peptides, etc unless a company wanted to go the FDA route. Most people don't care. The government allows you to put extremely harmful things in your body (as long as you are over a certain age).

Are GLP-1s unapproved FDA drugs severely lacking safety data? No. (Reta is unapproved as of today, but certainly there is plenty of safety data). Suggesting that doctors prescribe some of the peps on the list despite the lack of safety data is also opening a giant can of malpractice worms.

As I said, I don't know how this'll play out - I suggested reasonable outcomes (approval path for drugs without corporate pushing that do have safety data), but blanket YOLO from the FDA is anathema to their mission.

Do you believe any compound a company develops should be available via compounding prior to having safety data? If not, why are peptides a special class of drugs that warrant skipping that safety step?

If the glp1 is not name brand then yes not they are not an fda approved drug. Ie compounded glp 1 are not fda approved.

We're talking past each other. I think my point is clear regarding evidence of safety. If your argument is that there's no evidence of safety for compounded GLP-1, only pharma GLP-1 I'm going to agree to disagree on that distinction.

Same can be said for the peptides they want to reschedule. You never answered as to where you are getting yours from?

In absolutely no way can it be said for most of the peps on their list - which of those have a commercial FDA-approved equivalent? Which have notable safety data to back them up?

Sigh...

I'm not answering your question because it's irrelevant and a distraction. FWIW, I'm not comfortable personally injecting any compound that doesn't have safety data to back it up, which so far has kept me to compounds that are FDA approved (I'd extend that to something like Reta given the published data, but I haven't felt the need). So, my personal standard applies - I wouldn't take the compounds that I don't think the FDA should approve. I'm not personally concerned with the sourcing path for said compounds (commercial vs compound), and in the case of grey market I think that appropriate testing can manage that risk.
