Resources & help
Peptera is information, not a substitute for real help. When you need a person — a clinician, poison control, or an investigator — here's where to turn.
Medical emergencies & poison control
• Emergency: call 911 (U.S.) for chest pain, trouble breathing, fainting, severe allergic reaction, or spreading redness/fever after an injection.
• Poison Control (U.S.): poison.org or 1-800-222-1222 — free, confidential, 24/7, for any suspected overdose or bad reaction.
Finding a licensed provider
A clinician is the safest path — they can assess whether something is appropriate for you at all, order labs, and monitor.
• Ask your primary-care provider or an endocrinologist.
• Reputable telehealth services can prescribe and monitor legitimately where appropriate.
• Be honest with them about anything you've taken — they can only help with the full picture.
Reporting fraud
If you were scammed, you're the victim of a crime — reporting is appropriate. Preserve records first (receipts, chats, transaction IDs).
• IC3 — FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center.
• ReportFraud.ftc.gov — Federal Trade Commission.
Reporting unsafe or unapproved drugs
• FDA — Report a Problem (MedWatch): adverse events, or the sale of unapproved/misbranded drugs.
• DEA Diversion — for controlled-substance concerns (e.g., anabolic steroids).
Verifying drug information
• DailyMed — official FDA drug labels (the authoritative source for approved drugs).
• NIH Office of Dietary Supplements — for vitamins/supplements.
• WADA Prohibited List — banned-in-sport status.
Mental health & support
Being defrauded — or in over your head with something you took — is stressful. You're not alone.
• 988 (U.S.) — Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, 24/7, call or text.
• Talk to your provider; they've heard it before and can help without judgment.
A note before you act on anything: if your own past purchases could raise legal questions, a brief consult with an attorney before filing a report can help you come forward as a victim while protecting yourself. That's not a reason to stay silent — it's a way to do it safely.
