Is it legal to get testosterone prescribed online?

By Dr. Paul C. Holmwood, MD. Published . 1 min read.

Yes, when the prescriber is licensed in your state, evaluates you through a live telehealth visit and follows federal rules for controlled substances. Testosterone is Schedule III, so a questionnaire alone is not enough; current federal telemedicine rules call for a real-time video or audio visit with the prescriber.

What this means for you

Federal telemedicine flexibilities for controlled substances have been extended several times and are in force through 2026, with permanent rules still under review, so a clinic must follow whatever is current. States add their own requirements for telehealth and for testosterone specifically. What is never legal is buying testosterone from a site that does not require a prescription; that product has no oversight and the purchase itself is a federal offense.

Is testosterone a controlled substance?

Yes. Testosterone is a Schedule III controlled substance in the United States, which is why it requires a prescription from a DEA-registered provider.

Can I get testosterone from an online form without talking to anyone?

No. A questionnaire-only process does not meet federal requirements for prescribing a controlled substance by telehealth.

  • What are NAD+ injections used for? NAD+ injections deliver nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, a coenzyme involved in cellular energy metabolism and DNA repair, as a prescription medication injected under the skin.
  • Is NAD+ the same as NMN? No. NAD+, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, is the coenzyme itself. NMN, nicotinamide mononucleotide, and NR, nicotinamide riboside, are precursors the body can convert into NAD+. Injectable NAD+ delivers the molecule directly by prescription, while NMN and NR are oral supplements.
  • Is NAD+ FDA approved? No. NAD+ is not an FDA-approved drug for any use. Injectable NAD+ is prepared by compounding pharmacies under a prescription, and oral forms such as NMN and NR are regulated as dietary supplements, which the FDA does not approve before they are sold.
