RFK Jr. Pushes FDA to Reverse 2023 Bans on Peptides Despite Safety Warnings

In 2023, the FDA deemed 19 peptides too unsafe to be dispensed by compounding pharmacies. Now, under RFK Jr., the agency is poised to reverse itself — despite the fact that few clinical studies support claims of the peptides’ effectiveness or safety. https://www.propublica.org/article/peptide-safety-fda-compounding-pharmacies?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=mastodon-post #News #FDA #RFKJr #Health #Peptides #Safety #Pharmacy

#FDA to weigh easing limits on unproven peptides favored by #RFKJr & other “#MAHA” [Making America Hurl Again🤮] figures The FDA will hold a meeting this summer to consider easing restrictions on more than a half dozen peptide injections, a group of unapproved therapies that have become popular among “wellness influencers”, “fitness gurus” & celebrities. #law #Trump #HHS #health #science #medicine #PublicHealth #ConspiracyTheories #BrainWorm #USpol https://apnews.com/article/peptides-fda-kennedy-injection-bpc157-37bf2f94f0e8a57da76e67a03b58ff0f

The meeting announcement Wednesday follows repeated pledges by [#quack] #Health Secy #RFKJr to loosen regulations on peptides, which are often pitched as a quick way to build muscle, heal injuries or appear younger. There’s little research behind those claims & most peptides have NOT been reviewed for #safety by the #FDA. #scammers #law #Trump #HHS #health #science #medicine #PublicHealth #ConspiracyTheories #BrainWorm #USpol

#FDA regulators agreed with the panel, saying later that the substances “present significant safety risks,” because most have not been extensively tested in humans. Many of the FDA advisers & internal staff who oversaw those decisions no longer work for the agency. #scammers #law #Trump #RFKJr #HHS #health #science #medicine #PublicHealth #ConspiracyTheories #BrainWorm #USpol

…Under President #Biden, the #FDA added more than a dozen of the most popular peptides to the federal list of substances that should not be produced by compounding pharmacies — businesses that mix medications that aren’t available from drugmakers. At the time, the FDA’s panel of pharmacy advisers voted overwhelmingly that the peptides did not meet the criteria for a list of drugs that can be safely compounded. #scammers #law #Trump #RFKJr #health #science #medicine #PublicHealth #USpol

The #FDA said in a federal notice Wednesday it will ask a panel of outside pharmacy “advisers” to review 7 peptides at a July meeting, specifically whether to remove them from a restrictive category reserved for risky, customized drugs. #scammers #law #Trump #RFKJr #HHS #health #science #medicine #PublicHealth #ConspiracyTheories #BrainWorm #USpol
