GLP-1 compounding is moving from shortage-era access to enforcement-era scrutiny.
The tracker prioritizes FDA shortage notices, 503A and 503B policy, warning letters, and OIG oversight signals.
Peptide Tracker
Unvarnished peptide updates, ready for editorial review.
A source-first queue for FDA actions, GLP-1 compounding policy, warning letters, anti-doping rules, pharmacy oversight, and trade-body responses. These are not rewritten press releases; every item starts with the source that should anchor the article.

Injectable quality and dosing-error notices belong on safety pages, not buried in footnotes.
When FDA flags dosing errors, sterility, or CGMP concerns, the relevant profile and access pages should get revised.
Peptide-hormone claims need WADA context before any performance framing.
WADA is treated as the source of record for anti-doping status, with clinical evidence handled separately.

2026-04-30FDA
Proposed ruleReady to paraphrase
FDA proposes excluding semaglutide, tirzepatide, and liraglutide from the 503B Bulks List.
The proposal would keep 503B outsourcing facilities from compounding these GLP-1 active ingredients from bulk drug substances unless another legal pathway applies.
Why it matters: This is one of the clearest policy signals on where FDA wants the post-shortage GLP-1 compounding market to land.
Article angle: Explain what 503B facilities can and cannot do after the shortage-era enforcement discretion ends.
2026-04-15HHS OIG
Oversight work planWatch
Federal watchdog adds FDA oversight of compounded GLP-1 drugs to its work plan.
OIG flagged a review of FDA oversight for compounded GLP-1 drugs, with a final report expected later in the decade.
Why it matters: A watchdog review raises the odds of sharper documentation, inspection, and enforcement expectations around compounded GLP-1s.
Article angle: Track what OIG is asking, what FDA already controls, and what consumers should watch while the review is open.
2026-04-07FDA
Warning letterReady to paraphrase
FDA warning letter to ProRx cites outsourcing-facility quality and sterility concerns.
FDA identified CGMP and sterility-related concerns at a 503B outsourcing facility and tied the review to compounded drug products including GLP-1 preparations.
Why it matters: Quality-system failures are not abstract when a compounded injectable is involved; this belongs in every access and safety update.
Article angle: Turn the warning letter into a plain-English quality checklist for readers evaluating compounded injectables.
2026-03-03FDA
Enforcement noticeReady to paraphrase
FDA warns 30 telehealth companies over marketing of compounded GLP-1 drugs.
FDA said companies were making illegal marketing claims around compounded GLP-1 products and failing to communicate required risk context.
Why it matters: This separates evidence-led GLP-1 education from commercial copy that implies compounded products are FDA-approved substitutes.
Article angle: Create a reader guide on marketing claims that should trigger skepticism before buying or booking a consult.
2026-02-06FDA
Policy clarificationReady to paraphrase
FDA clarifies compounder policies as the national GLP-1 supply stabilizes.
FDA outlined enforcement-discretion end dates after resolving tirzepatide and semaglutide shortage status, with different windows for 503A and 503B compounders.
Why it matters: Many access and cost pages still repeat shortage-era assumptions. This is the source that resets that timeline.
Article angle: Publish a timeline showing when shortage-based compounding discretion ended and what exceptions remain.
2025-07-31FDA
Safety updateReady to paraphrase
FDA updates concerns about unapproved GLP-1 drugs used for weight loss.
FDA highlights dosing errors, adverse-event reports, and risks from unapproved GLP-1 products, including non-commercial active ingredients promoted online.
Why it matters: This is the safety anchor for pages on compounded semaglutide, tirzepatide, retatrutide claims, and copycat GLP-1 marketing.
Article angle: Build a safety explainer that distinguishes FDA-approved GLP-1 drugs from unapproved and copycat products.
2025-09-25WADA
Prohibited listReady to paraphrase
WADA publishes the 2026 Prohibited List covering peptide hormones and growth factors.
The prohibited list is the athlete-facing source for peptide hormones, growth factors, related substances, and mimetics.
Why it matters: Sports and recovery pages need a clear line between medical-use discussion and substances that can create anti-doping exposure.
Article angle: Translate the WADA peptide-hormone categories into a practical athlete safety page without giving evasion advice.
2026-02-06Alliance for Pharmacy Compounding
Trade-body responseContext only
Compounding trade body responds to FDA's GLP-1 API restriction plan.
The trade-body response is useful context for industry arguments, but it should be treated separately from FDA policy.
Why it matters: Readers deserve to see both the regulator's position and the industry's response without confusing them as equally authoritative.
Article angle: Create a source-comparison piece: what FDA says, what compounders say, and where patients still need clinician guidance.
