Peptide Therapy in Tampa, FL

Peptide therapy uses short chains of amino acids, lab-made copies or fragments of natural peptides, prescribed for a specific goal such as recovery, gut health, metabolism, focus or sleep. At Padgett Medical Center, each peptide is prescribed after a free consultation with a licensed provider and compounded for you by a licensed U.S. compounding pharmacy. Most of the research behind these peptides is in cells and animals, so benefits are possibilities, not promises.

BPC-157 (recovery and healing), TB-500 (recovery and healing), KPV (gut health and inflammation), MOTS-c (metabolism and energy), Semax (focus and cognition) and Epitalon (sleep and healthy aging). Each has its own page with prices, side effects, research and sources.

The consultation is free. You only pay for your peptides if you start. Prices depend on the peptide and the product: BPC-157 from $275, TB-500 from $300, KPV from $90, MOTS-c from $400, Semax from $125 and Epitalon from $250. Every product and price is listed on this page. New patients who book online with a card on file get 10% off their first peptide order ($90 becomes $81). Nothing is charged when you book, and current patients pay the listed price.

No. BPC-157, TB-500, KPV, MOTS-c, Semax and Epitalon are not FDA-approved, and compounded peptides are not FDA-approved drugs. The FDA does not review compounded drugs for safety, effectiveness or quality before they are prescribed.

These peptides are not FDA-approved. On October 30, 2026, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services published a notice in the Federal Register about an interim policy for six peptides: it says HHS does not intend to take enforcement action against state-licensed pharmacies and licensed physicians that compound them for individual patients while the FDA completes formal rulemaking, as long as conditions are met, including a prescription for each patient, a tested ingredient from an FDA-registered manufacturer and one peptide per product. It does not cover peptides sold as research chemicals or supplements, it is temporary and may change, and Florida rules still apply.

At Padgett, yes: every peptide is prescribed by a licensed provider after a consultation. The HHS interim policy covers compounding for individual patients with a prescription. Peptides sold online as "research use only" are labeled not for human use and are not prescribed at all.

Human safety data for these peptides are limited, and long-term effects are not known. Each peptide page lists its side effects, who should not take it and possible interactions. FDA has noted that peptides can trigger immune reactions, and that impurities or clumping raise that risk, which is one reason product quality matters. Your provider reviews your health history and every medicine you take before prescribing.

Your free consultation can be by telehealth from anywhere in Florida, including St. Petersburg, Clearwater and Orlando, or in person at our Tampa peptide clinic. A licensed provider decides with you which peptides, if any, are right for you, and goes over how you receive them if you start.

No. GLP-1 medications for weight loss, such as semaglutide and tirzepatide, are a separate program at Padgett: see medical weight loss. MOTS-c has been studied in animals for metabolism, but it is not a GLP-1 and has not been shown to cause weight loss in people.

The prices on this page are what you pay for each order, and the consultation is free. Compounded peptides are not FDA-approved drugs, so check with your plan before you count on any coverage or health benefit.

At Padgett Medical Center in Tampa, peptides are prescribed only after a consultation with a licensed medical provider, and each one is compounded for the individual patient by a licensed U.S. compounding pharmacy. That is not the same as the "research grade" or "research use only" peptides sold online, which are labeled not for human use and are not made or checked to pharmacy standards for people, so there is no way to be sure of their strength, purity or sterility, or how well they will work. Research-grade vs pharmacy-compounded peptides explains it in detail, with sources.
