|---|---|---|
| With insurance | Not published | Not covered. Medicare Part D and commercial pharmacy benefits cover FDA approved drugs for accepted indications; compounded or unapproved peptides are paid in cash. [4] |
| Compounded pharmacy | Not published | No lawful compounded price. Epitalon was withdrawn from 503A Category 2 in April 2026 and recommended for the 503A bulks list by PCAC in July 2026, but the recommendation is advisory: until FDA publishes a final rule it is not on the bulks list, and a 503A pharmacy has no federal basis to compound it from bulk. Advertised clinic prices are not a comparable price, and products sold as research chemicals are not lawful for human use. [1] [2] [3] |
