To treat you online while you are in Colorado, the person needs a Colorado licence or telehealth registration.

Telehealth is care across a distance; you might have a visit through a screen.

A telehealth registration gives permission to treat people online only.

Colorado has a free name search for medical, nursing and pharmacy licences.

What the word peptide means

A peptide has a short string of joined parts, much like a row of beads. Proteins are larger substances made from chains of those same parts. Insulin is one example of a peptide used as a medicine.

Calling a substance a peptide tells you about its makeup. The word alone cannot establish whether a product is safe or legal.

For FDA approval, the US Food and Drug Administration has reviewed the medicine for a specific use.

One medicine with FDA approval is semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy).

With compounding, a medicine is prepared to order instead of supplied as a finished drug made in a factory.

A medicine prepared to order is not FDA-approved, even if its maker is a licensed pharmacy.

A licence check and a medicine check answer different questions.
