The Federation of State Medical Boards provides guidance to the state bodies that license doctors. It says online care must provide the same level of medical care as a visit in person.
If the online visit leaves a need for tests or an exam, its guidance says the person treating you must arrange these or send you to someone who can.

The word “peptide” is not the answer
A peptide is made of a small chain of amino acids, the parts used to build proteins.

These US product rules are described as of September 26, 2026.
