Mission 08 · Understanding prescription care

# A conversation  
before a decision.

Reading a study and being assessed for a prescription are different steps. Here is what the second one means.

Mission log / 01

## A care page is the beginning of a request

Promise Peptides' licensed U.S. providers assess requests for prescription peptide care. [Promise's longevity overview](https://mypromise.com/solutions/anti-aging-longevity)  is on mypromise.com. Access is prescription-required and for U.S. patients only.

A provider reviews each request and decides whether a prescription is appropriate. Not everyone qualifies. A live page cannot settle eligibility. Compounded medicines are not FDA-approved.

## What a prescription actually means

An appropriately licensed provider evaluates an individual and decides whether a medicine is appropriate. [The federal telehealth licensure guide](https://telehealth.hhs.gov/licensure/getting-started-licensure)  explains that providers must meet the licensing requirements where the patient is located.

Telehealth is a way to hold that evaluation. It does not change the rules about which ingredients can be compounded, and it does not replace the clinical decision. The [FDA's compounding framework](https://www.fda.gov/drugs/human-drug-compounding/bulk-drug-substances-used-compounding-under-section-503a-fdc-act)  concerns a separate set of requirements.

## Compounded medicines are not FDA-approved

Compounding means preparing a medicine for particular needs rather than dispensing a ready-made approved product. [FDA's compounding questions and answers](https://www.fda.gov/drugs/human-drug-compounding/compounding-and-fda-questions-and-answers)  explains the distinction.

Compounded medicines are not FDA-approved. FDA does not check their safety, effectiveness or quality before they are marketed. A prescription does not convert a compounded preparation into an approved drug.

## Keep the ingredient's status in view

[FDA's safety-risk page](https://www.fda.gov/drugs/human-drug-compounding/certain-bulk-drug-substances-use-compounding-may-present-significant-safety-risks) , current as of April 22, 2026, places Epitalon and MOTS-c in “nominated but withdrawn.” That means nominations were withdrawn; it does not mean FDA cleared the substances. The published safety concerns remain.

This guide describes the process, not anyone's eligibility or a legal determination about a particular preparation. The [Epitalon guide](/epitalon)  keeps the research and human-safety gaps in view. Personal decisions belong with the evaluating provider.
