Are peptides legal in Wisconsin?

Can a Wisconsin resident get peptides by telehealth?

Wisconsin regulates physician telehealth through Wisconsin Administrative Code chapter Med 24, which uses the statutory definition of telehealth in Wisconsin Statutes section 440.01(1)(hm). Med 24.03 allows a physician-patient relationship to be established through telemedicine, and Med 24.04 requires a physician who diagnoses or treats a patient located in Wisconsin by telemedicine to hold a Wisconsin license from the Medical Examining Board. Med 24.07(1) requires a physician who prescribes through a website to be licensed, disclose their identity, obtain informed consent, perform a documented patient evaluation including history and examination as needed, and keep health records, and Med 24.07(2) states that issuing a prescription based only on a static electronic questionnaire does not meet the standard of minimally competent practice. The rules do not expressly address other asynchronous formats, so this record marks asynchronous prescribing as unresolved; questionnaire-only prescribing is clearly not compliant. GLP-1 medicines and the peptides in this database are not controlled substances. [2] [3]

How does the Wisconsin pharmacy board treat compounding?

The Pharmacy Examining Board, administered by the Department of Safety and Professional Services, licenses pharmacists and pharmacies under Wisconsin Statutes chapter 450. Compounding is governed by Wisconsin Administrative Code chapter Phar 15 (pharmaceutical compounding, safe handling of hazardous drugs, and radiopharmaceuticals), which in Phar 15.02 adopts USP general chapters 795 (non-sterile), 797 (sterile), 800 (hazardous drugs), and 825 (radiopharmaceuticals). Section 450.065 provides that no pharmacy in another state may ship, mail, or otherwise deliver a prescribed drug to persons in Wisconsin unless it holds a Wisconsin license, which requires proof of home-state licensure, a signed statement that the owner or managing pharmacist knows Wisconsin pharmacy law, and a toll-free line open at least 40 hours a week. Wisconsin has no separate state list of compoundable bulk substances, so a peptide's eligibility follows the federal 503A test (approved drug component, USP or NF monograph, or FDA 503A bulks list). [1] [4] [5] [6] [7]

Can you get compounded GLP-1s in Wisconsin?

Two Wisconsin checks apply to telehealth GLP-1 programs: the prescriber must do more than review a static questionnaire (Med 24.07), and any out-of-state pharmacy must hold a Wisconsin license under section 450.065. [2] [5] [10]

Prices by channel: semaglutide cost, tirzepatide cost.

Approvals, shortage history, and prices for every GLP-1 we track are on the GLP-1 hub.

Is it legal to buy research peptides in Wisconsin?

Wisconsin Statutes chapter 450 limits dispensing of prescription drugs to licensed pharmacies and practitioners, and section 450.065 bars out-of-state pharmacies from delivering prescribed drugs into Wisconsin without a license, so sellers shipping "research use only" injectable peptides to Wisconsin consumers are outside the licensed channel. [4] [5] [11]
