To get peptides prescribed online, you complete a health intake through a telehealth platform. A board-certified, state-licensed clinician reviews it and, if appropriate, prescribes a protocol. A licensed and inspected 503A pharmacy then prepares the protocol and ships it to you. At SYNC, clinician review happens within 24 hours, and orders arrive within 3 business days of approval with everything you need to begin. Your clinical support continues after that through a patient portal with 24/7 access to your clinician.
Do you need a prescription for peptides?
Yes. Therapeutic peptides such as semaglutide, tirzepatide, Tesamorelin and PT-141 are prescription medications. A licensed clinician has to review your health history and confirm the protocol is appropriate before a pharmacy can prepare it.
That requirement works in your favor. It means a clinician has reviewed your medications, history and goals before you start. Your dose is set for you. And your protocol is prepared by a regulated pharmacy specifically for you.
How does online peptide therapy work?
Online peptide therapy follows five steps.
1. The Blueprint Quiz. A short questionnaire about your goals, which helps match you with the right protocol.
2. Clinical pre-screening. A health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications and anything a clinician needs to know.
3. Clinician review. A board-certified, state-licensed clinician reviews your answers within 24 hours and designs your protocol.
4. Pharmacy preparation. A licensed and inspected 503A pharmacy prepares your protocol specifically for you.
5. Delivery and ongoing support. Your protocol arrives with a home injection kit. From there you have 24/7 access to your clinician through the patient portal.
What happens during a peptide consultation?
During an online peptide consultation, a clinician reviews your Blueprint Quiz and pre-screening answers and decides which protocol, dose and plan fit your goals. If they need more detail about your history or medications, they message you with follow-up questions.
The consultation is where personalization happens. Two people with the same goal can receive different protocols based on their health history, current medications and preferences. Your clinician also sets your starting dose and explains how your protocol will progress.
How long does it take to get peptides prescribed?
Most patients go from starting the Blueprint Quiz to receiving their protocol within a week. The Blueprint Quiz and pre-screening take a few minutes. Clinician review happens within 24 hours. Delivery arrives within 3 business days of clinician approval.
Where do prescription peptides come from?
Prescription peptides are prepared by 503A compounding pharmacies. These are state-licensed, inspected pharmacies that prepare medications for individual patients against a valid prescription. Sterile compounding at these pharmacies follows national pharmacy standards for preparation, handling and quality.
Every SYNC order ships cold in discreet packaging. It includes a home injection kit with needles, alcohol pads and the tools you need. Most protocols are reconstituted at home, and your order comes with clear guidance on how to do it.
How much do prescription peptides cost?
The cost of prescription peptides depends on three things: the compound, the dose and the plan length. Plans are available in 1-, 3- and 6-month lengths, and 6-month plans ship in two 3-month deliveries. The price for each dose is shown on the site before checkout.
Your plan includes clinician review, pharmacy preparation, the home injection kit and unlimited follow-up questions with the clinical team. Prescriptions are valid for 6 months. Within that window you can change your plan length yourself in the patient portal.
Your protocol starts with a few questions about your goals. Start Your Protocol.
