What we write

The site covers three kinds of thing:

• What Peptimes does: its features, its price and how it handles your data.
• Practical guides about keeping records: exporting them, measuring consistently, travelling with your medicines, disposing of needles.
• Compound pages: what a compound is, its US regulatory status with sources, and how to log it in Peptimes.

How we make these pages

We draft and check pages with the help of AI tools. Product facts are checked against the app itself, and statuses against the regulator records cited on each page. Nothing goes live on this site without the approval of Peptimes' owner.

We don't describe planned features as available. When the app changes, we update the pages that describe it.

Regulatory status

Every statement about a compound's US status names its source and the date we checked it. Our sources are public records from regulators, such as FDA's Drugs@FDA database and drug labels on DailyMed, FDA's substance registry, the Drug Enforcement Administration, and the Code of Federal Regulations.

An approval belongs to a specific product, route and use, so we say which. A compounded or unapproved product doesn't share a brand-name medicine's approval. Statuses change, so each compound page shows the date we last checked each status. What FDA status terms mean explains the labels we use.

What we leave out

Our pages are not reviewed by a doctor or pharmacist, so we don't give medical advice, and we keep to what public sources report. Where a page says what a product is approved for, that comes from its FDA label, with the source and the date we checked it. Study findings follow the rules below. Otherwise, that means:

• no doses, schedules or starting amounts;
• no benefit lists, side-effect lists or half-lives;
• no advice on what to take, how much, or when;
• no information on where to get any compound, and no prices for them;
• no comparisons with other tracking apps.

Questions about your treatment are for your prescriber or a licensed clinician. Peptimes is a tracking app, not medical advice, and we don't sell peptides or any other compound.

Study findings

Some compound pages have a short "What studies have looked at" section. Each point cites a public source, such as a PubMed record, a ClinicalTrials.gov study or an FDA document, says whether the study was in people or in animals or the lab, and states only what the study reported, never the amount, schedule or route it used. The findings are the same ones, from the same sources, as in the Peptimes app's Library. They describe research, not what a compound will do for you.

Dates

A compound page shows the date it was last updated and the date each status was checked. We change a date only when we actually changed or checked something, and we never describe a page as reviewed unless a real review took place.

Brand names and independence

We name brand-name medicines only to say what they are and how to track them. Brand names are trademarks of their owners, and Peptimes isn't affiliated with or endorsed by them. The site carries no ads and no affiliate links.

Corrections

If you think something on this site is wrong or out of date, email support@peptimes.com with the page and what you noticed. We check it against the source, correct the page if it's wrong, and update its date.
