Regulatory status and access

Approved, narrow, and prohibited in sport

Tesamorelin sits in an unusual legal space. It is an FDA-approved drug, but only for one narrow indication, and it is named on the WADA prohibited list. Whether it may be compounded for other uses is not resolved by any source behind this course. Each status carries different rules.

This unit traces the FDA history, maps the status across contexts, explains what is and is not settled about compounded tesamorelin, covers the anti-doping ban, and lands on an honest bottom line.
