## The short answer

**Yes, you can start sermorelin through telehealth in New York, with a prescription if a provider decides it is appropriate.** New York's [telehealth law](https://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/laws/PBH/2999-CC) lists who counts as a telehealth provider, starting with licensed physicians and physician assistants, and [pharmacies shipping in from other states must register](https://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/laws/EDN/6808-B) with the state. Astra operates in all 50 states, and your provider confirms availability during your visit. Compounded sermorelin is not FDA-approved.

**Considering sermorelin?** A licensed provider reviews your answers and decides whether it is appropriate. See how it compares on price in the [sermorelin price index](/sermorelin-price-index/), or read about the [sermorelin program](/sermorelin/).

## New York rules that protect you

| Rule | What it covers | Question to ask |
|---|---|---|
| [Public Health Law 2999-cc](https://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/laws/PBH/2999-CC) | Defines telehealth providers by New York professional license | Is my provider licensed to treat me in New York? |
| [Education Law 6808-b](https://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/laws/EDN/6808-B) | Out-of-state pharmacies, including internet pharmacies, that ship prescription drugs to New York patients must register | Is the filling pharmacy registered in New York? |

The pharmacy rule specifically includes [pharmacies that do business over the internet](https://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/laws/EDN/6808-B), so online ordering is not an exception.

## A research-peptide site is a different thing

Those sites may not involve any New York-licensed provider or registered pharmacy. FDA's [December 2024 warning letter](https://www.fda.gov/inspections-compliance-enforcement-and-criminal-investigations/warning-letters/xcel-research-llc-694608-12102024) called sermorelin from one such site an unapproved new drug.
