The short answer

Yes. Compounded NAD+ nasal spray is prepared by a licensed pharmacy under section 503A of federal law, which requires a valid prescription for an identified patient. At NADMedics, a licensed provider decides whether to prescribe after a free online consultation.

Why a prescription is required

Federal law lets 503A pharmacies compound drugs exempt from FDA approval when there's a valid prescription for an identified patient. That prescription ties the product to a provider who has reviewed your health.

How to get one

Book a free online consultation. A licensed provider reviews your health, medicines and goals and prescribes only if NAD+ is appropriate. The pharmacy then compounds and ships your spray.
