Clinician answer
A name and a state licence

Each state sets its own exact rules, so the medical board in your state is the place to check them.

Approval answer
Compounded is not FDA-approved

BPC-157 answer
“Withdrawn” is not “cleared”
The FDA’s list in September 2026 marked BPC-157 “nominated but withdrawn”. Groups asked that pharmacies be allowed to make medicines with it, then pulled those requests.
That status did not make BPC-157 approved, and it did not put BPC-157 on the list of ingredients pharmacies may use to make medicines.
