Standard v1.1 · criterion S1
S1. Prescriber requirement
A licensed United States clinician evaluates each order before any drug ships. The seller states this on its own pages.
Prescription drugs reach patients through prescribers. A seller that cannot name the clinical step is not operating as a medical service. S1 separates medicine from chemical retail, which is the first division in this market.
Check method
The seller's published pages are read for prescriber language. The claim is recorded with its URL and the date read.
What fails
A checkout that never mentions a clinician fails S1. A site selling peptides labeled for research fails S1 by design.
