FDA's Letter to Tailor Made Compounding Pharmacy
What they were answering
Fractalyzed · 2 points
Is there a reason why long-standing peptide websites (plenty online that have been up for over 4 years) are still operating and don't seem to be facing severe legal trouble?
What's different about Tailor Made that initiated an FBI level investigation compared to all these other peptide sites that have been around forever?

Those other sites do not operate as a compounding pharmacy. They operate in a legal gray area as a chemical supplier. They also hide themselves very well. Some are incorporated overseas. Some have multiple shell companies that they cycle through over time. Even then, the FDA does raid them from time to time. You have to understand that the FDA's budget has been cut, and their investigations take time. Most FDA investigations that lead to big things you see publicly take years of work. This means they only go after specific companies they know they have a legal case against. They are also very reactive. They generally leave you alone if you are not flagrantly violating things, and have not had people report deaths or other adverse events from your products. However, if they get reports of hospitalizations or deaths from a company's product, that company goes to the top of the pile to be investigated. The people behind these companies also get around. Many build brands, run those sites for a while, then shutdown and move to another. So sometimes new companies get wrapped up into legal issues because the owner was already under investigation for a previous company they ran. The FDA, FBI, and DOJ don't often publicly release the origins of their investigations, though. So sometimes it is difficult to know for sure what led to them picking that particular company at that particular time.
