Are Peptides Legal in France?
France takes a strict approach under EU pharmaceutical law. The ANSM actively regulates medicines, and selling unapproved peptides for human use is illegal. Research peptide vendors are less common than in other EU countries, and French customs can be thorough. Semaglutide is available by prescription through the French healthcare system. Not a great place to try importing unregulated peptides.
