Is Survodutide legal?
Not as a drug. Survodutide has no FDA approval, so selling it for human use breaks federal drug law, and a 'research use only' label does not protect a seller whose site signals human use. It is not a controlled substance, and possessing it is not a federal crime. Pharmacies cannot compound it.
