FDA rules leave compounded BPC-157 unavailable despite high costs

BPC-157 is a peptide used in treatments that can cost patients up to $1,500 a month.

An FDA panel voted on the substance in July.

That vote did not make BPC-157 legal to compound.

Compounding means preparing a customized medication for a patient.

The FDA issue affects whether providers can offer compounded BPC-157.

The high reported monthly cost highlights the financial burden for patients seeking peptide therapy.

The source gives no further details about what happens next.
