Peptide laws in United Kingdom

The MHRA classifies peptide drugs as prescription-only medicines. Importing POMs for personal use without a prescription breaches the Human Medicines Regulations 2012; supply and advertising carry criminal penalties.

Customs and enforcement practice can differ sharply from the written rule. Penalties for importing unapproved injectables range from seizure to criminal prosecution depending on the jurisdiction. Confirm current rules with the named authority before ordering anything across a border.
