Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced Wednesday that his department will allow the use of peptide injections that have not received formal approval from the Food and Drug Administration, according to UPI.
The move effectively bypasses the FDA's typical review process for these products, which are often marketed for purposes like anti-aging, weight loss or muscle recovery but have not been vetted through the agency's standard safety and efficacy pipeline.
Details on exactly which peptides will be affected, how access will be managed and what safeguards, if any, will remain in place were not specified in the initial announcement, UPI reported.
