FDA plans a proposed rule naming more bulk drug substances it proposes to add to, or keep off, the 503A Bulks List. Its regulatory agenda planned the proposal for July 2026; it has not been published yet.
Why it matters: The 503A Bulks List decides which ingredients without a USP monograph or an approved drug, like most research peptides, US pharmacies may compound.
