Is epitalon legal in the US?
This site's US legal field for epitalon is not approved, research use only. It is not an FDA approved drug. The FDA took it off its Category 2 list of drugs pharmacies may not mix (compound) in April 2026. In July 2026 an advisory panel voted 7 to 4, with 1 abstaining, to recommend allowing pharmacies to make it for insomnia, against its own reviewers. That vote is advice only and is not an approval. UK: not licensed. Australia: not approved, banned in sport (WADA, the world anti-doping agency). Canada: not approved. This site has not filled in any country beyond those four. Sub-national detail is not in this dataset. National status: /legal/epitalon/us.
