we spoke over the phone, but in case anyone else has thoughts or wants to weigh in, I’ll continue it here
My personal opinion, yes absolutely. You should separate yourself among the many who provide peptides, but are not certified in it. Patients want to know/need to know who they can trust. We are also building a page for Certified Members so patients who come to us can find who they can go to (saves me some white hairs)
Do not make any claims that peptides treat “x” on your site. Saying that you treat something obviously is fine…ED/Arthrititis/etc, but directly correlating peptides as the treatment i would stay away from. They are not FDA approved and sit in the “nomination” stage with the FDA, which allows you to prescribe them under your medical license, but is very dangerous waters to correlate the two. In the wise words of Dr. Yurth, explaining what peptides do and not treat is the way to go.
This sounds basic, but please make sure you have a medical consent form with the appropriate language that empowers you to use “unique medications” from a 503A compounding pharmacy.
