What are you being offered?
A prescriber is a health professional with permission to write a prescription, the order for a medicine.
Insulin is one example of a peptide: a small chain made from the parts that build proteins.
For September 2026, the name “peptide” by itself cannot tell you whether the product is safe or allowed under the rules.
