Sale framing
Research-use-only posture: Brand Egrifta is Rx-only; 'research-grade tesamorelin' from peptide retailers is unapproved and FDA's RUO posture rejection applies.
Personal possession: Lawfully obtained Rx Egrifta is lawful to possess. Unapproved compounded/research-source tesamorelin is at enforcement risk on the seller side.
