Why is ipamorelin banned?
This site's legal fields do not say banned. They say not approved, research use only in the US, not licensed in the UK, not approved in Canada, and in Australia, not approved and banned in sport (WADA). Unapproved is not the same as banned. The one study in people, in 117 patients who had part of their bowel removed, found ipamorelin given by IV drip was well tolerated. They reached a first meal they could keep down a bit sooner than people on a dummy drip, but the gap was small enough that it could have been chance. A WADA sport ban is a competition rule, not a national ban on owning a research-labeled vial. Sub-national detail is not in this dataset.

Part of further names and published absences. Leftover harvested questions after the first two absence sets: more brand versus molecule names, side effects the citations did not count, compounding formulas this catalogue does not hold, national FDA and Australia fields, trial windows rather than an onset clock, named combinations with no interaction table, and oral routes that have not been studied.
