Are Peptides Legal in Austria?
Austria operates under the EU framework through BASG, so unapproved peptides are officially not legal to sell for human use. Enforcement is moderate — similar to Germany's approach but slightly stricter in practice. Research peptides can be sourced from EU-based vendors, though Austrian customs does occasionally inspect packages. Semaglutide is available by prescription through the Austrian healthcare system.
