WASHINGTON — A Food and Drug Administration advisory panel recommended on Friday that compounding pharmacies be allowed to manufacture the peptides epitalon and semax, but narrowly voted to recommend against manufacturing emideltide.
The votes, which followed the panel’s decision on Thursday to recommend allowing pharmacies to make four other peptides, bring health secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. one step closer to his mission of making these unapproved compounds more available for Americans. Peptides, which are short-chain amino acids, have become increasingly popular in the U.S., driven by endorsements from social media influencers.
