Peptide access rules in Michigan

Yes. A Michigan resident can obtain FDA approved peptides such as semaglutide and tirzepatide from a Michigan-licensed prescriber, including through telehealth, because the Public Health Code (MCL 333.16285) lets a prescriber providing a telehealth service prescribe any non-controlled drug within scope of practice. A compounded peptide is available when it is eligible under federal 503A rules and dispensed by a pharmacy licensed by the Michigan Board of Pharmacy; under MCL 333.17748, any pharmacy doing business in Michigan, wherever located, must hold a Michigan pharmacy license. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8]

Compounded GLP-1 access in Michigan

A telehealth GLP-1 program shipping compounded injections into Michigan must use a pharmacy that holds a Michigan pharmacy license under MCL 333.17748, which patients can check in the LARA license verification system. [1] [3] [9]

Research use only sellers in Michigan

Part 177 of the Public Health Code restricts the dispensing and sale of prescription drugs to licensed pharmacies and prescribers, and a seller of "research use only" injectable peptides to Michigan consumers holds no such license. [3] [10]

How to check a clinic in Michigan

  1. Confirm the prescribing clinician's license with the Michigan medical or nursing board.
  2. Ask which pharmacy compounds or dispenses the peptide and check it in the Michigan Board of Pharmacy (Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs, Bureau of Professional Licensing) license lookup. [1] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8]
  3. Confirm the peptide can be lawfully compounded: check its status on the regulatory tracker or its peptide page before paying.
  4. Walk away from any seller that labels a peptide "research use only" or "not for human consumption". See the research use only section above for what that means in Michigan. [3] [10]

Common questions in Michigan

Can I get a GLP-1 prescription in Michigan through telehealth?

Yes. MCL 333.16285 lets a Michigan-licensed prescriber providing a telehealth service prescribe a non-controlled drug within scope of practice, after obtaining your consent. Semaglutide and tirzepatide are not controlled substances. [2]
